xmlrpclib mapping method names in dictionary

[Patrick Price]

I figured this out: I had to use the _dispatch method


 > #!/bin/python

import SimpleXMLRPCServer
import os

cmds={'ps':'ps -eaf',
       'df':'df -k',
       'uptime':'uptime',
       'who':'who',
       'last':'last',
       'iostat':'iostat',
       }

class RegisteredFunctions:

         def _dispatch(self, name, args):
                 if name in cmds:
                         a = os.popen(cmds[name])
                         l = a.readlines()
                         a.close()
                         return l

if __name__ == '__main__':
         server=SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 9000))
         server.register_instance(RegisteredFunctions())
         server.serve_forever()
