Django: metaWeblog: dir() doesn't show methods

[.]

Hello,

I'm using Django and metaWeblog.

s = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost:8000/xmlrpc/")
# Let's call a method
s.metaWeblog.test()
"Test"
# It works

#But it won't output available methods if I try to use dir() for this
purpose
dir(s.metaWeblog)
['_Method__name', '_Method__send', '__call__', '__doc__',
'__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__']
# It doesn't contain my test method

Is this a bug or some sort of encapsulation?


Regards

More or less the latter.

What you have is a server proxy, something that passes data back &
forth between your app and the XMLRPC-providing server. So when you
dir() it, it's showing you the methods of the proxy, not of the RPC
server.

You should be able to do s.system.listMethods() to pull back all
available methods. Or to just give you the ones relevant to
metaWeblog: [m for m in s.system.listMethods() if 'metaWeblog' in m]

Thanks.
