I have a socket set up between a client and server program. Let's say that I
serialize (pickle) some data in the client and send it to the server with the
intention of calling a function in the server to process the data. How would
one execute the function? This is not for a web-based application, BTW -- it's
a desktop based application
My current thought process is (using a generalized example):
I have a list of numbers in the client and want to find the length of the list
using the server. There exists a function find_len() in the server code. I
have a list of numbers [1,2,3]. On the client side, I create the tuple
("find_len", [1,2,3]), and serialize it. I pass this serialized object via a
socket to the server, which unpickles it. The server takes the key (find_len)
and uses a getattr call to get the find_len function. The server then calls
find_len([1,2,3]) to get the sum.
def find_len(list_): return
Are there better ways of accomplishing this (I'm aware that there are security
pitfalls here...)
