I'm somewhat of a newbie was confused by the following code that I downloaded from eBay's developer site:
One of the classes in the file is called "Call". What I don't get is that in "MakeCall" function, there's a use of self.Session.Server. Where is this property coming from? ============================================ class Call: RequestData = "<xml />" # just a stub DetailLevel = "0" SiteID = "0" def MakeCall(self, CallName): # specify the connection to the eBay Sandbox environment # TODO: Make this configurable in eBay.ini (sandbox/production) conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(self.Session.Server) # specify a POST with the results of generateHeaders and generateRequest conn.request("POST", self.Session.Command, self.RequestData, self.GenerateHeaders(self.Session, CallName)) response = conn.getresponse() # TODO: When you add logging to this, change the # following to log statements # print "Response status:", response.status # print "Response reason:", response.reason # store the response data and close the connection data = response.read() conn.close() responseDOM = parseString(data) # check for any <Error> tags and print # TODO: Return a real exception and log when this happens tag = responseDOM.getElementsByTagName('Error') if (tag.count!=0): for error in tag: print "\n",error.toprettyxml(" ") return responseDOM def GenerateHeaders(self, Session, CallName): headers = {"X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL": "349", "X-EBAY-API-SESSION-CERTIFICATE": Session.Developer + ";" + Session.Application + ";" + Session.Certificate, "X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME": Session.Developer, "X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME": Session.Application, "X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME": Session.Certificate, "X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME": CallName, "X-EBAY-API-SITEID": self.SiteID, "X-EBAY-API-DETAIL-LEVEL": self.DetailLevel, "Content-Type": "text/xml"} return headers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
