New submission from Beau <beaumarti...@gmail.com>: xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy calls that return XML (ie, the a non-marshallable type) give bad XML, with \" (backslash then double quote characters, '\\"'; not escaped double quote) in place of ", and \' in place of '. Ampersands aren't XML-escaped either.
(I have only tested this with Last.fm's API but I have made calls that return marshallable types with no problem, so I'm assuming the issue lies with ServerProxy and not Last.fm's XML-RPC servers.) The following test code, identical to that in the attached file illustrates the bug; it throws an xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError as the XML is bad: # Get a Last.fm user's library. # http://www.last.fm/api/show?service=323 import xmlrpc.client import xml.etree server = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/') parameters = {'api_key': 'b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026', 'user': 'joanofarctan', 'page': 1} tracks = server.library.getTracks(parameters) tracks_xml = xml.etree.ElementTree.parse(tracks) # Should get "xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: XML declaration not well-formed: line 1, column 14". # (Line 1, column 14 is a backslash: <?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>.)
