New submission from Michael Newman <michael.b.new...@gmail.com>: In "20.24.1.1. SimpleXMLRPCServer Example": http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/xmlrpc.server.html
The client portion of the example uses "mul", which does not exist in the server portion. The easiest fix to change the client to use "div" instead of "mul". # Attempt to use client code exactly as provided: # Python 3.1.1 (r311:74483) on win32 E:\notes\Programming\python3\lib\xmlrpc.server>py31 example1_xmlrpc_client.py 8 5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "example1_xmlrpc_client.py", line 11, in <module> print(s.mul(5,2)) # Returns 5*2 = 10 File "C:\python31\lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 1029, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "C:\python31\lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 1271, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "C:\python31\lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 1070, in request return self.parse_response(resp) File "C:\python31\lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 1169, in parse_response return u.close() File "C:\python31\lib\xmlrpc\client.py", line 673, in close raise Fault(**self._stack[0]) xmlrpc.client.Fault: <Fault 1: '<class \'Exception\'>:method "mul" is not supported'> To fix it, I changed this line in the client code: print(s.mul(5,2)) # Returns 5*2 = 10 to: print(s.div(8,2)) # Returns 8/2 = 4 # Here's how it now looks after the suggested fix: E:\notes\Programming\python3\lib\xmlrpc.server>py31 example1_xmlrpc_client_rev1. py 8 5 4 ['add', 'div', 'pow', 'system.listMethods', 'system.methodHelp', 'system.methodSignature'] ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 98567 nosy: georg.brandl, mnewman severity: normal status: open title: SimpleXMLRPCServer Example uses "mul" instead of "div" in client portion versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7814> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
