#
#  This was modified from rpcMixin.py distributed with wxPython
#
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name:        rpcMixin
# Version:     0.2.0
# Purpose:     provides xmlrpc server functionality for wxPython
#              applications via a mixin class
#
# Requires:    (1) Python with threading enabled.
#              (2) xmlrpclib from PythonWare
#                  (http://www.pythonware.com/products/xmlrpc/)
#                  the code was developed and tested using version 0.9.8

"""provides xmlrpc server functionality for wxPython applications via a mixin class

**Some Notes:**

  1)  The xmlrpc server runs in a separate thread from the main GUI
      application, communication between the two threads using a custom
      event (see the Threads demo in the wxPython docs for more info).

  2)  Neither the server nor the client are particularly smart about
      checking method names.  So it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot
      by calling improper methods.  It would be pretty easy to add
      either a list of allowed methods or a list of forbidden methods.

  3)  Authentication of xmlrpc clients is *not* performed.  I think it
      would be pretty easy to do this in a hacky way, but I haven't done
      it yet.

  4)  See the bottom of this file for an example of using the class.

**Obligatory disclaimer:**
  This is my first crack at both using xmlrpc and multi-threaded
  programming, so there could be huge horrible bugs or design
  flaws. If you see one, I'd love to hear about them.

""" ChangeLog
23 May 2001:  Version bumped to 0.2.0
  Numerous code and design changes

21 Mar. 2001:  Version bumped to 0.1.4
  Updated rpcMixin.OnExternal to support methods with further references
   (i.e. now you can do rpcClient.foo.bar() and have it work)
  This probably ain't super legal in xmlrpc land, but it works just fine here
   and we need it.

6  Mar. 2001:  Version bumped to 0.1.3
  Documentation changes to make this compatible with happydoc

21 Jan. 2001:  Version bumped to 0.1.2
  OnExternal() method in the mixin class now uses getattr() to check if
    a desired method is present.  It should have been done this way in
    the first place.
14 Dec. 2000:  Version bumped to 0.1.1
  rearranged locking code and made other changes so that multiple
    servers in one application are possible.
