I'm trying to write a simple application that communicates using RPCs. I'm using python 3.7's xmlrpc.
This is my server code
MY_ADDR = ("localhost", int(sys.argv[1]))
HOST_ADDR = ("localhost", int(sys.argv[2]))
class RpcServer(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.port = MY_ADDR[1]
self.addr = MY_ADDR[0]
# serve other hosts using this
self.server = SimpleXMLRPCServer((self.addr, self.port))
self.server.register_function(self.recv_ops)
def run(self):
self.server.serve_forever()
def recv_ops(self, sender, op):
print("Sender ", sender, " sent: ", op)
pass
And this is what I'm using as my client's code
def send_ops(host_addr, op):
# contact the other host using this
proxy_addr = "http://{addr}:{port}/".format(addr=host_addr[0], port=host_addr[1])
client_proxy = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(proxy_addr, allow_none=True)
resp = client_proxy.recv_ops(MY_ADDR, op)
...
send_ops(HOST_ADDR, ("d", ii, last_line[ii])) # THE RPC CALL I MAKE
Despite setting allow_none=True, I keep getting this:
Exception in thread Thread-1:

raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpc.client.Fault: <Fault 1: "<class 'TypeError'>:cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled">
What's tripping my is that the server on the other side actually receives the message (without any None)
Sender ['localhost', 8001] sent: ['d', 4, 'o']
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
In your server class, add allow_none=True to your SimpleXMLRPCServer instantiation.
self.server = SimpleXMLRPCServer((self.addr, self.port), allow_none=True)
The allow_none and encoding parameters are passed on to xmlrpc.client and control the XML-RPC responses that will be returned from the server.
