New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
Currently, an XMLRPC client communicating with a server running Python can make Python style calls but exceptions get collapsed into a standard FaultException making it difficult to program in a Pythonic style: proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/") try: value = proxy.lookup('somekey') except xmlrpc.client.Fault as err: if err.faultCode == 1 and 'KeyError' in err.faultString: k = re.search(r":.(\w+)' not found$", err.faultString).groups(1) raise KeyError(k) It would be better if we could do this automatically (search for a pure python exception of the same name and raise it instead of a Fault): proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/", python_exceptions=True) try: value = proxy.lookup('somekey') except KeyError as e: ... ---------- messages: 147572 nosy: rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Option for XMLRPC clients to automatically transform Fault exceptions into standard exceptions type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
