New submission from Delaney Gillilan <delaneygilli...@gmail.com>:
Documentation available at
http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/library/xmlrpc.client.html#binary-objects
produced incorrect results ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_server.py", line 28, in <module>
print(handle.read().format('utf-8'))
File "C:\python31\lib\io.py", line 1728, in read
decoder.decode(self.buffer.read(), final=True))
File "C:\python31\lib\io.py", line 1299, in decode
output = self.decoder.decode(input, final=final)
File "C:\python31\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 252:
character maps to <undefined>
However a quick change (new to Python3 so this may need work) gives desired
results.
Server:
from xmlrpc.server import SimpleXMLRPCServer
import xmlrpc.client
def python_logo():
handle = open("python_logo.jpg", "rb") <-- needed "rb"
return xmlrpc.client.Binary(handle.read())
handle.close()
server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
print("Listening on port 8000...")
server.register_function(python_logo, 'python_logo')
server.serve_forever()
Client:
import xmlrpc.client
proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8000/";)
handle = open("fetched_python_logo.jpg", "wb") <-- needed "wb"
handle.write(proxy.python_logo().data)
handle.close()
Please update the documentation. Thanks!
