[Zope] Help: XMLRPC question

[Ruslan Spivak]

Hello zope users,


I have comp A Zope and comp B Zope on LAN.

I've wrote python wrappers for vpopmail API (vadduser, vdeluser,
vpasswd), compiled it into .so module, put it into comp A Zope
../zope/lib/python2.1/site-packages and restarted zope.

Here are my external methods on comp A Zope:

import vpopmail # my wrapper module for vpopmail

def vadduser(username, domain, password):
    return vpopmail.vadduser(username, domain, password, "", 0)

def vdeluser(username, domain):
    return vpopmail.vdeluser(username, domain)

def vpasswd(username, domain, password):
    return vpopmail.vpasswd(username, domain, password, 0)

It works OK, each method return 1 if OK and 0 if Error

Problem begins when I begin to call these external methods from comp B
Zope using XML-RPC.

Comp B Zope external methods

from xmlrpclib import Server

def vadduser(username, domain, password):
    s = Server(http://server/vpopmail)
    return s.vadduser(username, domain, password)

.....

So I can get results (0 or 1) from calling ext. methods from comp A

The problem is that it works and sometimes doesn't work.
Often I get error on comp B Zope:

N.B. When I change ext. methods on comp A Zope so that they don't
return anything it work's OK.
example(on comp A) - old: Doesn't work

def vadduser(username, domain, password):
    return vpopmail.vadduser(username, domain, password, "", 0)

new: Works

def vadduser(username, domain, password):
    vpopmail.vadduser(username, domain, password, "", 0)


But I need get the result codes.

Please help me with this question, I'm stuck with it.

Best regards,
 Ruslan                          mailto:alienoid@is.lg.ua
