"""Simple XML-RPC Server.
3
This module can be used to create simple XML-RPC servers
4
by creating a server and either installing functions, a
5
class instance, or by extending the SimpleXMLRPCServer
8
It can also be used to handle XML-RPC requests in a CGI
9
environment using CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler.
11
A list of possible usage patterns follows:
15
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
16
server.register_function(pow)
17
server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
18
server.serve_forever()
20
2. Install an instance:
24
# make all of the string functions available through
28
def _listMethods(self):
29
# implement this method so that system.listMethods
30
# knows to advertise the strings methods
31
return list_public_methods(self) + \
32
['string.' + method for method in list_public_methods(self.string)]
33
def pow(self, x, y): return pow(x, y)
34
def add(self, x, y) : return x + y
36
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
37
server.register_introspection_functions()
38
server.register_instance(MyFuncs())
39
server.serve_forever()
41
3. Install an instance with custom dispatch method:
44
def _listMethods(self):
45
# this method must be present for system.listMethods
48
def _methodHelp(self, method):
49
# this method must be present for system.methodHelp
52
return "add(2,3) => 5"
54
return "pow(x, y[, z]) => number"
56
# By convention, return empty
57
# string if no help is available
59
def _dispatch(self, method, params):
63
return params[0] + params[1]
67
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
68
server.register_introspection_functions()
69
server.register_instance(Math())
70
server.serve_forever()
72
4. Subclass SimpleXMLRPCServer:
74
class MathServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):
75
def _dispatch(self, method, params):
77
# We are forcing the 'export_' prefix on methods that are
78
# callable through XML-RPC to prevent potential security
80
func = getattr(self, 'export_' + method)
81
except AttributeError:
82
raise Exception('method "%s" is not supported' % method)
86
def export_add(self, x, y):
89
server = MathServer(("localhost", 8000))
90
server.serve_forever()
94
server = CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler()
95
server.register_function(pow)
96
server.handle_request()
