Andrew,
I have generators working on both sides of a SimpleXMLRPCServer
instance. You ask for a server-side generator, and I won't post the
whole program, as it's long, so here's an important part:
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
server.register_introspection_functions()
def gen( ):
while 1:
yield 1
yield 2
yield 3
servg= gen( )
server.register_function( servg.next, 'gen' )
Called 's.gen( )' four times, output:
localhost - - [25/Aug/2008 23:08:28] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
1
localhost - - [25/Aug/2008 23:08:29] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
2
localhost - - [25/Aug/2008 23:08:30] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
3
localhost - - [25/Aug/2008 23:08:31] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
1
As expected. I guess that your problem was on this line:
server.register_function( servg.next, 'gen' )
where instead you just wrote
server.register_function( servg, 'gen' ) #wrong
or perhaps even
server.register_function( gen, 'gen' ) #wrong
I'll offer an explanation of the difference too, for the asking.
