xmlrpc with Basic Auth
I need to use XML-RPC call with Basic Authorization in HTTP headers. I found
xmlrpclibBasicAuth.py, and it can be used as follows:
from xmlrpclibBasicAuth import Server
s=Server("http://www.example.com/rpc.php","user","pwd";)
print s.system.listMethods()
Is this possible in plain xmlrpclib, without xmlrpclibBasicAuth.py?
I found the Transport class in xmlrpclib, and it has a method "get_host_info",
which parses "user:pwd" out of "user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]". But when I tried to
instantiate Server, it threw error "unsupported XML-RPC protocol". Here is a
snippet:
from xmlrpclib import Server
s=Server("user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]://www.example.com/rpc.php")
...
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1293, in __init__
raise IOError, "unsupported XML-RPC protocol"
IOError: unsupported XML-RPC protocol
I know that I am using it incorrectly. Does the basic authentication support
in xmlrpclib mean something else than I take it for?

xmlrpc, extract data from http headers
I perform a XML-RPC call by calling xmlrpclibBasicAuth which in turn calls xmlrpclib. This call of course sends a HTTP request with correct HTTP headers. The response is correctly parsed by xmlrpclib, and I get my desired values. However, I also need to get the raw HTTP headers from the HTTP response. There is a cookie in the HTTP response and I need to read that cookie. How could I do that? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I am a bit of a false beginner in Python. I have written only short scripts. I want to read "Dive into Python" to improve my knowledge. Your advice is perfect. It is my fault that I need a little more guidance. I am not sure how the headers will be passed from Transport to the instance of ServerProxy. That is, if I change the _parse_response method, how do I retreive the headers using the ServerProxy command? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Perfect! Thank you.

I certainly do not deserve such kindness. Thanks a lot Filip! -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
uninstall
I run "make install" of Python 2.4.4 and now I discovered that I do not like the default placement of my install. The Makefile does not support an "uninstall" option. Is there a way to uninstall Python compiled from sources? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
zlib
Although I have Python 2.5 with zlib in my Linux disto, I need to install my own Python (as most Zope developers do). Zope requires zlib. Python 2.4.4 does not contain zlib. What is the correct procedure for installing zlib from source into Python? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: uninstall
> If you're installing from sources "manually", you might want to > consider checkinstall to give you the option of an uninstall for those > software distributions which don't support "make uninstall": I know about checkinstall and I often use it. If I remember correctly, Python failed to work with it. I admit I did not try to use checkinstall this time. -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Why zlib not included in Python tarball?
I need to install my own Python. I compiled Python 2.4.4 from sources. zlib did not compile - it's not in the lib-dynload directory. I did not have this problem with any of my earlier Python compiles. I routinely compile Python from source. What is the correct procedure for installing zlib from source into Python? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Because Zope often requires Python version slightly older than the most current one. > So why does your own Python version have to be 2.4.4? Because "Plone 3.0 requires Zope 2.10.4 and Python 2.4.4", as you can see on plone.org. -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

readline support on openSuSE
This question concerns compilation of Python from sources. Specifically Python 2.3.6. On Kubuntu 7.04, ./configure outputs these lines about readline: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... yes checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... yes On openSuSE 10.3, ./configure outputs these lines about readline: checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... no checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... no And, of course, line editing in Python shell is possible on Kubuntu and impossible on openSuSE. I do have libreadline5 and readline-devel RPM installed on openSuSE. What else might I need to have readline support? -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
module import problem
I have a Kubuntu upgrade script that fails to run: File "/tmp/kde-root//DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py", line 34, in import GnuPGInterface ImportError No module named GnuPGInterface I got a folder /usr/share/python-support/python-gnupginterface with a "GnuPGInterface.py" but no __init__.py. In python command line, print sys.path shows that /usr/share/python-support/ is not among python paths. If I cd into /usr/share/python-support/python-gnupginterface and launch Python I can "import GnuPGInterface". But when I run DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py in that folder it always fails with No module named GnuPGInterface. I do not know much about setting python path. -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: module import problem
> Reinstall the package "python-gnupginterface" with "sudo aptitude reinstall Your advice helped! Upgrade is running now. Thanks! -- Milos Prudek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
