10
The :mod:`DocXMLRPCServer` module has been merged into :mod:`xmlrpc.server`
11
in Python 3. The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when
12
converting your sources to Python 3.
17
The :mod:`DocXMLRPCServer` module extends the classes found in
18
:mod:`SimpleXMLRPCServer` to serve HTML documentation in response to HTTP GET
19
requests. Servers can either be free standing, using :class:`DocXMLRPCServer`,
20
or embedded in a CGI environment, using :class:`DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler`.
23
.. class:: DocXMLRPCServer(addr[, requestHandler[, logRequests[, allow_none[, encoding[, bind_and_activate]]]]])
25
Create a new server instance. All parameters have the same meaning as for
26
:class:`SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer`; *requestHandler* defaults to
27
:class:`DocXMLRPCRequestHandler`.
30
.. class:: DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler()
32
Create a new instance to handle XML-RPC requests in a CGI environment.
35
.. class:: DocXMLRPCRequestHandler()
37
Create a new request handler instance. This request handler supports XML-RPC
38
POST requests, documentation GET requests, and modifies logging so that the
39
*logRequests* parameter to the :class:`DocXMLRPCServer` constructor parameter is

DocXMLRPCServer Objects

-----------------------
48
The :class:`DocXMLRPCServer` class is derived from
49
:class:`SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer` and provides a means of creating
50
self-documenting, stand alone XML-RPC servers. HTTP POST requests are handled as
51
XML-RPC method calls. HTTP GET requests are handled by generating pydoc-style
52
HTML documentation. This allows a server to provide its own web-based
56
.. method:: DocXMLRPCServer.set_server_title(server_title)
58
Set the title used in the generated HTML documentation. This title will be used
59
inside the HTML "title" element.
62
.. method:: DocXMLRPCServer.set_server_name(server_name)
64
Set the name used in the generated HTML documentation. This name will appear at
65
the top of the generated documentation inside a "h1" element.
68
.. method:: DocXMLRPCServer.set_server_documentation(server_documentation)
70
Set the description used in the generated HTML documentation. This description
71
will appear as a paragraph, below the server name, in the documentation.
74
DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler
75
--------------------------
77
The :class:`DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler` class is derived from
78
:class:`SimpleXMLRPCServer.CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler` and provides a means of
79
creating self-documenting, XML-RPC CGI scripts. HTTP POST requests are handled
80
as XML-RPC method calls. HTTP GET requests are handled by generating pydoc-style
81
HTML documentation. This allows a server to provide its own web-based
85
.. method:: DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.set_server_title(server_title)
87
Set the title used in the generated HTML documentation. This title will be used
88
inside the HTML "title" element.
91
.. method:: DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.set_server_name(server_name)
93
Set the name used in the generated HTML documentation. This name will appear at
94
the top of the generated documentation inside a "h1" element.
97
.. method:: DocCGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.set_server_documentation(server_documentation)
99
Set the description used in the generated HTML documentation. This description
100
will appear as a paragraph, below the server name, in the documentation.
