- """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 SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler
- class.
-
- 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 pow(self, x, y): return pow(x, y)
- def add(self, x, y) : return x + y
- server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
- server.register_instance(MyFuncs())
- server.serve_forever()
-
- 3. Install an instance with custom dispatch method:
-
- class Math:
- def _dispatch(self, method, params):
- if method == 'pow':
- return apply(pow, params)
- elif method == 'add':
- return params[0] + params[1]
- else:
- raise 'bad method'
- server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
- server.register_instance(Math())
- server.serve_forever()
-
- 4. Subclass SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler:
-
- class MathHandler(SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler):
- 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 apply(func, params)
-
- def log_message(self, format, *args):
- pass # maybe do something fancy like write the messages to a file
-
- def export_add(self, x, y):
- return x + y
-
- server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000), MathHandler)
- server.serve_forever()
