Module SimpleXMLRPCServer
Simple XML-RPC Server.
This module can be used to create simple XML-RPC servers
by creating a server and either installing functions, a
class instance, or by extending the SimpleXMLRPCServer
class.
It can also be used to handle XML-RPC requests in a CGI
environment using CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.
A list of possible usage patterns follows:
1. Install functions:
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
server.register_function(pow)
server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
server.serve_forever()
2. Install an instance:
class MyFuncs:
def __init__(self):
# make all of the string functions available through
# string.func_name
import string
self.string = string
def _listMethods(self):
# implement this method so that system.listMethods
# knows to advertise the strings methods
return list_public_methods(self) + ['string.' + method for method in list_public_methods(self.string)]
def pow(self, x, y): return pow(x, y)
def add(self, x, y) : return x + y
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
server.register_introspection_functions()
server.register_instance(MyFuncs())
server.serve_forever()
3. Install an instance with custom dispatch method:
class Math:
def _listMethods(self):
# this method must be present for system.listMethods
# to work
return ['add', 'pow']
def _methodHelp(self, method):
# this method must be present for system.methodHelp
# to work
if method == 'add':
return "add(2,3) => 5"
elif method == 'pow':
return "pow(x, y[, z]) => number"
else:
# By convention, return empty
# string if no help is available
return ""
def _dispatch(self, method, params):
if method == 'pow':
return pow(*params)
elif method == 'add':
return params[0] + params[1]
else:
raise 'bad method'
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
server.register_introspection_functions()
server.register_instance(Math())
server.serve_forever()
4. Subclass SimpleXMLRPCServer:
class MathServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):
def _dispatch(self, method, params):
try:
# We are forcing the 'export_' prefix on methods that are
# callable through XML-RPC to prevent potential security
# problems
func = getattr(self, 'export_' + method)
except AttributeError:
raise Exception('method "%s" is not supported' % method)
else:
return func(*params)
def export_add(self, x, y):
return x + y
server = MathServer(("localhost", 8000))
server.serve_forever()
5. CGI script:
server = CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler()
server.register_function(pow)
server.handle_request()

list_public_methods(obj)
Returns a list of attribute strings, found in the specified object,
which represent callable attributes |
|
|
|

Imports:
xmlrpclib,
Fault,
SocketServer,
BaseHTTPServer,
sys,
os,
fcntl
resolve_dotted_attribute(obj,
attr,
allow_dotted_names=True)
|
|
resolve_dotted_attribute(a, 'b.c.d') => a.b.c.d
Resolves a dotted attribute name to an object. Raises an
AttributeError if any attribute in the chain starts with a '_'.
If the optional allow_dotted_names argument is false, dots are not
supported and this function operates similar to getattr(obj, attr).
|
remove_duplicates([2,2,2,1,3,3]) => [3,1,2]
Returns a copy of a list without duplicates. Every list item must be
hashable and the order of the items in the resulting list is not
defined.
