[Zope] XML-RPC woes

[Phil Harris]

Tone,

Is the page 'really' blank, have a look at the source.

It maybe that the Python Method is returning a reference to an object, which
would look something like

<blah blah blah>

Which of course wouldn't get rendered by the browser.

|  Hi all,
|  I'm trying to get this to work **from a XXX PythonMethod** (ie the
|  ones that allow you to import things and are coloured red and orange!)
|
|  PythonMethod do_par
|
|  import xmlrpclib
|
|  server_url="http://xmlrpc.server:9999"
|  server=xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
|  server.getTranscript(number)
|
|  I call it with a dtml doc
|
|  <form action="do_par" method=post>
|  <input type=text name="number:int">
|  </form>
|
|  The PythonMethod returns a blank page (whether from the form or
|  the 'try' tab)
|
|  If I make the PythonMethod be;
|  import xmlrpclib
|
|  def doit(number):
|       server_url="http://xmlrpc.server:9999"
|       server=xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
|       return server.getTranscript(number)
|
|  doit(number)
|
|  Then I get this error, when called from either the form or the 'try' tab.
|  <!--
|    Error type:  NameError
|    Error value: xmlrpclib
|    -->

|
|  I'd like to work from PythonMethods as they offer the promise of
|  speedy editing, so what am I doing wrong this time? :(
|
|  getTranscript does work, because all this code works from the Python
|  interpreter.
