xml-rpc - adodb - None type - DateTime type
Hi to all,
I have functions defined in an xml-rpc server. Some functions query to
a Postgres database (using adodb) and return its recordset. So, if some
xml-rpc client runs the mentioned function, it will retrieve the
recordset. The problem is that if a retrieved field has the Null value
or the Date value (DateTime Database format), then, the retrieved
recordset in the python program will have the 'None' value or the
DateTime type object value.
xml-rpc isn't able to accept any type of value, so I have to solve it.
I can replace all None values with the string 'Null', there's no
problem, but I can't detect the DateTime type object I retrieve from
the database.
I have something like this:
def xmlrpc_function():
conn = adodb.NewADOConnection('postgres')
conn.Connect(host,user,password,database)
rs = conn.Exec("select * from table")
result = []
i = 0
while not rs.EOF:
row = rs.GetRowAssoc(False)
for key, value in row.items():
if value==None:
row[key]='Null'
result.append(row)
i = i + 1
rs.MoveNext()
rs.Close()
print result
return result
The problem here is that if row[key] == , then I don't know what to do for detect it and make the
appropriate change to string.
Console output:
[{'name': 'Null', 'date': }]
If you consult the python manual, you'll see that there's no 'DateTime'
type object, so I can't do something like:
if value==DateTimeType:
...
I only need to know which type of data is a field for make the change
according to what can I pass through the xml-rpc.
Any help?
Thanks

When enabling the server, note that you put '' as the IP, and not 'localhost'. if you put an ip: '172.16.1.2', your server will listen on that IP (if it's valid) if you put '', your server will listen on all IPs defined on that computer. of you put 'localhost', it will listen for local connections only.

Security on XML-RPC
Hi all, Anyone knows a simpler but stronger control access to XML-RPC functions than the one I comment here? My actual system works like this: I have a TCP Server and an XML-RPC Server. Both of them verify if the IP address is allowed. The TCP Server works for validate and register an IP address if it wasn't validated previously, while the XML-RPC Server works only if the requester IP address was allowed through the mentioned TCP Server. This means, anyone who wants to connect to the XML-RPC Server has to pass the TCP Server. How a client connects to the TCP Server and authenticate his IP? Well, there is an interchange of encrypted data between the Client and the TCP Server, where, in few words, the client sends a UserName and a Password, all this through the send() function of the Socket connection. If the TCP Server authenticate an IP address, then that Client will be able to connect to the XML-RPC Server and use its defined functions. The problem I see here is that if I want someone to taking advantage of my XML-RPC functions, I have to tell him all these. I would like to get a strong but simpler way of doing all these. Thank you for reading and thinking. Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The thing is that I have in ProgramB a class derived from threading.Thread, that runs a TCPServer, listening to a port on local ip address. As you surely know, you have to specify certain parameters when instantiating the tcpserver: SocketServer.TCPServer(server_address, RequestHandlerClass) where server_address is a tuple (ip,port) ip has to be one of three modes of values (If I remember well): 1. A null string '' Listens on all IP local address 2. A string containing the local IP address where you want it to listen Listens only in the specified local IP address 3. A string containing "localhost". Listens only for connections from "localhost". Here comes the problem: When you specify the case number 2, the IP must be valid for the computer where the program runs, otherwise, it raises an exception saying that "Can't assign requested address". The TCPServer class, defined in a module, is ran (instantiatedly) from the main program through a started thread. The thread also is in the same module as TCPServer class. It looks like (it's much more code than this. If you want the whole code, tell me): MainProgram.py ... SrvrTCP = module.ThreadedTCPServer(ip,port) SrvrTCP.start() #Here, I want to know if the TCPServer started well. ... module.py ... class ThreadedTCPServer(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, ip,port): threading.Thread.__init__(self) self.ip= ip self.port= port def run(self): TCPServer((self.ip,self.port)) #Here, if the self.ip is invalid, it raises an exception. ... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

server that works with VB? I would like you to include the examples

My examples are:
#Server.py
import SOAPpy
def sum(x,y):
return x+y
server = SOAPpy.SOAPServer(("localhost", 8080))
server.registerFunction(sum)
server.serve_forever()
#client.py
import SOAPpy
server = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy("http://localhost:8080";)
print server.sum(5,6)
#This should print: 11

server from VB (like does SOAPpy accessing google's services)

Re: PyGTK vs. wxPython
Ok, I get the point. So, when a dynamic component comes up, It can be handled importing from an XRC file? I have to develop a complete MDI app, so I'm realizing that I will get ride of hand-coding it. Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: PyGTK vs. wxPython
Correct me if I'm wrong: XRCed doesn't allow to do MDI Parent and Child frames, but simple apps only. For what you wouldn't use it? And instead, what would you use instead? GUI Hand coding? Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: PyGTK vs. wxPython
Hi all... Thank you for your answers... wxPython, under Linux, tries to use GTK... A better way to say it is: wxPython uses whatever it needs: under Windows, his API; under Linux, his API (may imply the use of GTK or GNOME), etc... Aparently, none of you has tried wxPython recently or properly. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit Microsoft Windows, most Unix or unix-like systems, and Macintosh OS X. Certainly, there may be Linux distributions where it doesn't run well... > The PyGTK is a better choice if you are writing for > Linux and want your application to also be able to run on windows. I want exactly the opossite: my apps must be developed for running primarly under Windows but also be able to run on Linux. So, tell me PyGTK (with or without Glade/w XML output) or entirely Python code through wxPython? Truely, what's the best for CROSS-platform for both Linux and Windows? Not just for Linux or just for Windows, but for both. Anyone who had used any a lot? Thanks Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
PyGTK vs. wxPython
Hi all... I think wxPython is much better than PyGTK. First of all, PyGTK needs the GTK runtime installed, whereas wxPython is entirely Python's modules, so It facilitates the apps' distribution. Also, PyGTK uses specific controls or widgets of GTK, while wxPython uses native controls of the platform where the app is running. I'm learning both, but at a slow step, so I want to know all the comments about this subject in this group. I heard about Glade to make the graphic layout of the app and then export it as XML. Then, it connects to PyGTK. The problem I see is that What if you want to refer to a state of a specific radiobutton of a radobutton's group? It seems to be very troublesome. Please, post any comments about the pros and cons of each library, and the proper way to construct the graphic layout (generating XML through Glade, or by hand-code). Thanks.

Re: cross platform printing
Hi Dennis... Then, what would be your solution? Print a PDF? If so, how you do that without assuming that an application is available to print it? Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
SQLite Database Manager
Hi all... Does anybody know about the best SQLite Database Manager open source web-based or standalone app under windows? I tried: - SQLiteManager (web-based - http://sqlitemanager.sourceforge.net/) but I can't get it working. (When I try to just create a new database, it does nothing... If anyone knows how to get it working, I am all ears (or eyes) :) ) - the demo version of SQLite Analyzer 3 (http://www.kraslabs.com/sqlite_analyzer.html). It seems to be good enough, but it isn't free ($40). - SQLiteManager (stand-alone program - http://sqlabs.net) that isn't free ($39) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: The convenient compiler for Python Apps and Distribution of it
the question is "is there an application that can compiles standalone python applications for running under Windows?" and "is there an application that can compile standalone python applications for running under Linux?". So I want a compiler for each platform, but that works. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
The convenient database engine for a "Distributed" System
Hi all... Here is my infrastructure design of a "distributed" system: - Many (30-50) hosts connected via VPN to a server. - Each host manages a system that receives local data (stored in a local database), and has to be sent to the server, so the rest of the hosts can "see" this data. What I want? I want to have a portable/changeable/easy-installation/cross-platform local database. The problem is that the database structure may change, so I have to change the database structure of each host. As you can see, it requires the database structure to be very portable and changeable. I think there is 2 database paradigms to consider: The Access-like one, and the MySQL-like one. With the Access-like paradigm, it only needs the file .mdb on the local host, and its respectively set of dlls to manipulate it. But, I remember that I need a cross platform database... On the other hand, the MySQL-like paradigm, needs the database engine to be installed for running. The cons of it, is that is more difficult (I don't know yet if a can do it) to install it silently, I mean without user intervention, whereas a .mdb file being a member of the system installation files is totally viable. I heard about sqlite... Any comments? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
The convenient compiler for Python Apps and Distribution of it
Hi all... There are py2exe, but it only works for Windows. Which would be the convenient(s) compiler(s) to deploy an executable that runs under Windows and under Linux (obviously, they have to be from different source of program compiler)... Any comments?

Distributing Python Apps and MySQL
Hi there... I want to distribute my python apps and the MySQL Database in the easiest way possible. I mean a user just run the installation file and all is automaticly installed. Any suggestions? My knowledge: I know, as many of you, that there's py2exe for compiling python apps for running under Windows. But what about the database structure and data? I think it could be reached through a .qry run in the MySQL database from an installation instruction. But (one more time) what about the automated installation of the MySQL database without user intervention? Daniel Crespo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
