rpc4django 0.6.3

Handles JSONRPC and XMLRPC requests easily with Django

Prerequisites

RPC4Django has been tested on Mac OS, Linux and Windows.

• Python 2.7, 3.3+

• Django 1.8+

• DefusedXML

• Docutils (optional)

Installation

pip install rpc4django[reST]

Configuration

1. First, you need to add new url pattern to your root urls.py file. You can replace r'^RPC2$' with anything you like.

   # urls.py
   
   from rpc4django.views import serve_rpc_request
   
   urlpatterns = (
       # rpc4django will need to be in your Python path
       url(r'^RPC2$', serve_rpc_request),
   )

2. Second, add RPC4Django to the list of installed applications in your settings.py.

   # settings.py
   
   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       'rpc4django',
   )

3. Lastly, you need to let RPC4Django know which methods to make available. RPC4Django recursively imports all the apps in INSTALLED_APPS and makes any methods importable via __init__.py with the @rpcmethod decorator available as RPC methods. You can always write your RPC methods in another module and simply import it in __init__.py.

   # testapp/__init__.py
   
   from rpc4django import rpcmethod
   
   # The doc string supports reST if docutils is installed
   @rpcmethod(name='mynamespace.add', signature=['int', 'int', 'int'])
   def add(a, b):
       '''Adds two numbers together
       >>> add(1, 2)
       3
       '''
   
       return a+b
