Are you wanting to use a python program as the remote client, and web2py as the framework for the service that client accesses? That shouldn't be too much of problem. See Chapter 10 of the Web2Py book: <http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10/services> (If you haven't read any of the web2py book yet, you should get familiar with it. The early examples are good experience.) For the client side, you will need an appropriate library to import. My experience is with SOAP, so I imported SUDS. The book describes several choices of protocols, though, so you aren't stuck with SOAP. (The SOAP support for Web2Py is pysimplesoap, which the @service.soap decorator sets up. I think I also used the client in an experiment, but I think I needed a SUDS feature for accessing a particular third-party service.) (Other decorators are used for JSONRPC and the like.) /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
