Your code is looking for a 'getChannels' or 'getItems' attribute of something named 'meerkat', but there is no such name in the current scope. Try this: Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import xmlrpclib >>> meerkatURI = "http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/xml-rpc/server.php"; >>> meerkatsvr = xmlrpclib.Server(meerkatURI) >>> meerkatsvr.system.listMethods() ['meerkat.getChannels', 'meerkat.getCategories', 'meerkat.getCategoriesBySubstring', 'meerkat.getChannelsByCategory', 'meerkat.getChannelsBySubstring', 'meerkat.getItems', 'system.listMethods', 'system.methodHelp', 'system.methodSignature'] >>> print meerkatsvr.system.methodSignature('meerkat.getChannels') [['array']] >>> print meerkatsvr.system.methodHelp('meerkat.getItems') Returns an array of structs of RSS items given a recipe struct. <etc> Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
