Is there is a way to run single service class multiple times with different  
names and get service name inside called class function.  
\* class MessageService:\*  
\* @rpc\*  
\* def message(self, message):\*  
\* return self.name\*  
\*class TestRunner:\*  
\* MessageService.name="service\_1"\*  
\* self.runner.add\_service(MessageService)\*  
\* MessageService.name="service\_2"\*  
\* self.runner.add\_service(MessageService)\*  
\*.....\*

Above code achieved running single service multiple times but I can't get  
service name inside message function (both service queues return \*service\_1\*

Best Regards,

You can do this with inheritance.

# msg.py

class MessageService:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@rpc  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;def message(self):  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return self.name

class MessageServiceA(MessageService):  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;name = 'a'

class MessageServiceB(MessageService):  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;name = 'b'

Note that to run the services you have to explicitly select just the  
subclasses (i.e. "nameko run msg:MessageServiceA msg:MessageServiceB")  
otherwise the runner will try to run the base class too and complain about  
a missing name attribute.
