I am having a difficult time understanding why my very simple
CGI-XMLRPC test isn't working. I created a server to export two
functions, the built-in function "pow" and my own identity function
"i". I run a script to call both of them and the "pow" work fine but
the "i" gives me an error that says my XMLRPC server doesn't support
than name. Here is the code for both files and the output:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#This file is /usr/lib/cgi-bin/roundwarerpc.py
from SimpleXMLRPCServer import CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler
def i(x):
return x
server = CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler()
server.register_function(pow)
server.register_function(i)
server.handle_request()
#!/usr/bin/env python
#This file is ~/test.py
import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://localhost/cgi-bin/roundwarerpc.py";)
print server.pow(2,3)
print server.i(10)
#This is the STDOUT and STDERR when running ~/test.py
dski...@dskippy-laptop:$ python test.py 8
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: '<type \'exceptions.Exception\'>:method "i"

Does anyone know what might be wrong with this?
Thanks for the help,
