Thanks for your response, Shuying Wang -- I was afraid no one even read the post. Now I see I wasn't clear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shuying Wang: I'm not sure what you're trying to do. But I run cgi scripts and make
xmlrpc requests with xmlrpclib with a connection with xmlrpclib.Server(server_uri), though I'm only doing this client side. I'm not running the server as cgi. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a Python module that I am trying to expose via XMLRPC. I can get it running by assigning a port on the server using SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler, but I would prefer to expose it through CGI if possible. This seems to be the stated purpose of the CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler, but I believe it is broken in some very serious way. The example code in the python online documentation calls a non-existant "div" function, so it was obviously a typing exercise, not actual code that anyone ever tested.
In researching the module, I found several requests on various mailing lists for example code -- not a single one ever had a response. When I've seen this before, it has turned out that either: a) it is terribly difficult, or b)it is stupidly simple. Since this is a tutor list, and I have seen the members graciously answer some questions that seemed pretty simple, I thought I'd post it here.
Since the only response (yours -- thanks again for responding!) was about xmlrpclib on the client side, not CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler on the server side, I can now conclude that it is terribly difficult, and slink off to publish using SOAP.
