Tired of configuring ZeroMQ/sockets for simple data streaming? Made this

What My Project Does

NitROS provides zero-config pub/sub communication between Python processes across machines. No servers, no IP configuration, no message schemas.

from nitros import Publisher, Subscriber

pub = Publisher("sensors")
pub.send({"temperature": 23.5})

def callback(msg):
    print(msg)
Subscriber("sensors", callback)

Auto-discovers peers via mDNS. Supports dicts, numpy arrays, PyTorch tensors, and images with compression.

Target Audience

• Quick prototypes and proof-of-concepts
• IoT/sensor projects
• Distributed system experiments
• Anyone tired of ZeroMQ boilerplate

Not meant for production-critical systems (yet).

Comparison

• vs ZeroMQ: No socket configuration, no explicit addressing
• vs raw sockets: No server setup, automatic serialization
• vs ROS: No build system, pure Python, simpler learning curve

Trade-off: Less mature, fewer features than established alternatives.
