[Zope-dev] zasync/xmlrpclib problem

[Florent Guillaume]

Gary,

When zasync is used on something that calls a xmlrpclib method  
s.foo.bar() (using s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(...)) and this xmlrpc  
call fails, it seems that cleanFailure at some point calls repr 
(s.foo.bar) and this makes a spurious xmlrpc call (because of the  
dumb _Method class of xmlrpclib which has a __getattr__ but no  
__repr__).

I had to monkey patch xmlrpclib thus, you could probably include it  
in zasync:

import xmlrpclib
def xmlrpc_method_repr(self):
     return '<xmlrpc._Method %s>' % self._Method__name
xmlrpclib._Method.__repr__ = xmlrpc_method_repr
