xml-rpc Server with asyncio

[Joe VanAndel]

I'm writing a Python application that needs to 

1) send/receive messages over sockets to a legacy application

2) send xml-rpc requests to an existing server

3) accept xml-rpc requests from clients.

I have searched the asyncio documentation, searched Stack Overflow, and googled, and have NOT found an xml-rpc server library that uses asyncio.

I did find 

aioxmlrpc, 

     https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aioxmlrpc/0.1  (client only) 

and

aiohttp 

     https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aiohttp/0.9.1

A few questions:

1) Does anyone have a xml-rpc <Server> library for asyncio?

2) If I need to build my own xml-rpc server  library for asyncio, what's the best starting point?

I don't have (1), but if you have to do (2), I would suggest starting with aiohttp and liberally copying from the Python 3 stdlib xmlrpc package. As long as you don't violate Python's pretty liberal open source license, you shouldn't have to worry about licensing.

And then when you're finished, toss aioxmlrpc up on PyPI. :-)

Hi,

Thank you a lot for this library, we had in our schedule to do the same thing, also based on aiohttp.

We will use your library for our next development.

BTW, not interested by the server part, now all of our clients asked for REST/JSON only, even Java developers.
For now, we're testing aiorest on two developments to validate if the right choice.

Regards.
