Did you know... XML-RPC server This page describes a custom user implementation of an XML-RPC server. For PyMOL's built-in server, see RPC. This server will enable any method in the 'cmd' module to be called remotely, as well as custom methods of the "pymol_interface" class (several examples of which are shown below). Other modules (such as util) could be wrapped using the same trick. <source lang="python"> from pymol import cmd, util from threading import Thread from SimpleXMLRPCServer import SimpleXMLRPCServer import cPickle import os import re import string def pymol_startup () : print "Loading PyMOL XML-RPC extensions" server = pymol_interface() class pymol_xmlrpc_server (SimpleXMLRPCServer) : def __init__ (self, addr, interface) : self.interface = interface SimpleXMLRPCServer.__init__(self, addr, logRequests=0) def _dispatch (self, method, params) : if not self.interface.enable_xmlrpc : return -1 result = -1 func = None if ..→
