RPCClient
(uri, timeout=60, transport=None, encoding=None, verbose=0, allow_none=0, use_datetime=0)[source]¶ An improvement on ye olde
ServerProxy
.It is fully compatible with
ServerProxy
(i.e. it implements all the same methods and functionality), and additionally it:- Times out if the connection has gone belly up
- Allows kwargs to be passed along with arguments, by adding the kwargs as a single dictionary argument
at the end of the list of parameters. If no kwargs are specified it will not be added, and therefore it
is fully backwards compatible with normal
SimpleXMLRPCServer
. - Properly implements
__dir__
and__getattr__
to query for remote methods and interface with them as attributes
Note
The RPCClient constructor accepts the same arguments as
ServerProxy
except you cannot set the transport. The reason is that RPCClient uses its own custom transport to implement the timeout.Parameters: - uri (str) – URI of XMLRPC Server (e.g. https:///my.server)
- timeout (int) – Timeout in seconds to apply to queries to server
- transport – Not available (must be None)
- encoding – Encoding to use
- verbose – Debugging flag
- allow_none – If true, None will be transmitted.
- use_datetime – If true,
datetime.datetime
will be transmitted.
For further description of encoding, verbose, allow_none and use_datetime, see
ServerProxy
.Available methods are those that have been registered on the remote XMLRPC server.
