Ralf Schmitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I think it's also a bug that xmlrpclib just ignores unknown tags (without even printing a warning).
and: wouldn't it be nice if we could also write back those integers? >>> import xmlrpclib >>> xmlrpclib.dumps((2**40,)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/ralf/pydev/trunk/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 1126, in dumps data = m.dumps(params) File "/home/ralf/pydev/trunk/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 671, in dumps dump(v, write) File "/home/ralf/pydev/trunk/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 693, in __dump f(self, value, write) File "/home/ralf/pydev/trunk/Lib/xmlrpclib.py", line 704, in dump_int raise OverflowError, "int exceeds XML-RPC limits" OverflowError: int exceeds XML-RPC limits I asked about the implementations supporting this as this i8 tag does not conform to the xmlrpc spec (but I would be happy if there was an de facto standard for sending large integers and would also help implement it). _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2985> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
