I'm trying to right a server that needs specific information for each

keeping this information based on ip address (the information is only
valid for a short time). I know there is no was to get the client's
address directly and have seen a few examples of subclassing the
SimpleXMLRPCServer like this:
class RPCServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):
def _dispatch(self, method, params):
"""Extend dispatch, adding client info to some parameters."""
if method in ({my list of methods I needed client address}):
return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method,
params+(self.client_address,))
return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method, params);
but to be honest I don't understand what's going on there or how to
use it. Would anyone be able to explain this to me?
I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, but if your server
requires informations from the client, it would be better to ask
explicitly the client for those informations.
For instance, if a method requires te client IP address, then the IP
address is definitely a parameter of the method.
