Name
register_instance
Synopsis
x
.register_instance(inst
)
Registers inst
to respond to XML-RPC
requests with names not registered via
register_function
. When
inst
supplies a method
_dispatch
,
inst
._dispatch
is called with the request’s name and parameters as
arguments. When inst
does not supply
_dispatch
, the request’s name is
used as an attribute name to search on
inst
. When the request’s
name contains dots, the search repeats recursively for each
component. The attribute found by this search is then called with the
request’s parameters as arguments. Only one instance
at a time can be registered with
register_instance
: if you call
x
.register_instance
again, the instance passed in the previous call to
x
.register_instance
is
replaced by the one passed in the later call.
Simple examples of all typical usage patterns for
impleXMLRPCServer
are given in the docstring of
module SimpleXMLRPCServer.py
, which you can find
in the Lib
directory of your Python installation
(Python 2.2 and later only). Here is a toy example of using the
_dispatch
method. In one terminal window, run the
following tiny script:
import SimpleXMLRPCServer class with_dispatch: def _dispatch(self, *args): print '_dispatch', args return args server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(('localhost',8888)) server.register_instance(with_dispatch( )) server.serve_forever( )
From a Python interactive session on another terminal window of the same machine (or an IDLE interactive session on the same machine), you can now ...
