Syntax error in XML-RPC How to?
hi: I'm trying to use the BasicAuth example in the "XML-RPC How To" http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/XML-RPC I keep getting the Zope error when creaing the External Method: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: SyntaxError Error Value: invalid syntax -------- I've just cut and pasted this from the webpage, only removed extra padding spaces, and spliced the one big line back together: h.putheader("AUTHORIZATION", "Basic %s" % string.replace(encodestring("%s:%s" % (self.username, self.password)),"\012", "")) The code defines a class and a def: --------------- class BasicAuthTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport): def __init__(self, username=xxxx, password=xxxx): self.username=username self.password=password def request(self, host, handler, request_body): # issue XML-RPC request ---------------- In the Add External method page, where you enter in the Function name I've tried: request BasicAuthTransport BasicAuthTransport.request request.BasicAuthTransport Which is the right one? it want's the Function 'request', right? So, the syntax error must be something in the script. Any help would be appreciated. -andy
What's the traceback embedded in the HTML source of the error page? It will point you directly to where the syntax error is. -Michel Andrew Diller wrote:

I keep getting the Zope error when creaing the External Method:
Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
Error Type: SyntaxError Error Value: invalid syntax
--------
I've just cut and pasted this from the webpage, only removed extra padding spaces, and spliced the one big line back together: h.putheader("AUTHORIZATION", "Basic %s" % string.replace(encodestring("%s:%s" % (self.username, self.password)),"\012", ""))
The code defines a class and a def:
--------------- class BasicAuthTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport): def __init__(self, username=xxxx, password=xxxx): self.username=username self.password=password
def request(self, host, handler, request_body): # issue XML-RPC request
---------------- In the Add External method page, where you enter in the Function name I've tried:
request BasicAuthTransport BasicAuthTransport.request request.BasicAuthTransport
Which is the right one? it want's the Function 'request', right?
So, the syntax error must be something in the script.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, it dosen't point to much, IMHO.

Is using 'request' proper for the 'Function name?' thanks, andy

I've named the python script ba.py.
Ah yes, I didn't realize it was in an external method. External methods mask the exact error information. Just import ba.py into a python interpreter *without* Zope and it will tell you where the error is. -Michel
Ok, my syntax error was that I was replacing the username and password with strings and not putting them in ''. That's fixed. But I'm still having an error now. Zope Traceback: ba.py is the cut and pasted XML-PRC access code request is the function in the script! What am I missing here in trying to call this from a DTML-Method? -------------------------- The specified object, request, was not found in module, ba.
