The "book" gives an example Python 2 XMLRPC client example on the "Overview" page.
There are many reasons that web2py is not yet Python 3. That's fine. But, perhaps we could include a Python 3 client example which might benefit those who do make the move. This was done with Python 3.2.2. >>> import xmlrpc.client >>> server = >>> xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8000/mywiki/default/call/xmlrpc') >>> for item in server.find_by('one'): print('%s -- %s' % (item['created_by'], item['title']))
