XML-RPC Method Classes

See README for usage instructions.

class wordpress_xmlrpc.XmlrpcMethod

Base class for XML-RPC methods.

Child classes can override methods and properties to customize behavior:

Properties:

• method_name: XML-RPC method name (e.g., ‘wp.getUserInfo’)
• method_args: Tuple of method-specific required parameters
• optional_args: Tuple of method-specific optional parameters
• results_class: Python class which will convert an XML-RPC response dict into an object

default_args(client)

Builds set of method-non-specific arguments.

get_args(client)

Builds final set of XML-RPC method arguments based on the method’s arguments, any default arguments, and their defined respective ordering.

process_result(raw_result)

Performs actions on the raw result from the XML-RPC response.

If a results_class is defined, the response will be converted into one or more object instances of that class.

class wordpress_xmlrpc.AnonymousMethod

An XML-RPC method for which no authentication is required.

class wordpress_xmlrpc.AuthenticatedMethod

An XML-RPC method for which user authentication is required.

Blog ID, username and password details will be passed from the Client instance to the method call.
