Can XML-RPC methods be called by name (as strings)

问题:

In python, calling XML-RPC methods involves invoking methods on a proxy object:

from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
print ServerProxy('https://example.com/rpc').api.hello_there('John')

In some other languages, like perl, you pass your method name as a method parameter.

use Frontier::Client;
$p = Frontier::Client->new(url => 'https://example.com/rpc');
$result = $p->call('api.hello_there', 'John');
print $result;

Is there a way to invoke XML-RPC methods by name, as strings, in Python?

回答1:

Just use getattr, as with any Python object.

func = getattr(ServerProxy('https://example.com/rpc'), "api.hello_there")
print func('John')
