[sverhoeven]

The remotebmi Python package allows to start models in an alternative way than https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi using HTTP, JSON and OpenAPI spec.

grpc is hardcoded. To support remotebmi the start_* methods should have a protocol = 'grpc' | 'openapi' argument and when protocol = openapi then use the remotebmi equivalents:

from remotebmi.client.apptainer import BmiClientApptainer
from remotebmi.client.docker import BmiClientDocker

Note

Remotebmi Python package is in development and has not yet been released to pypi.
