"""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()
