Method register_instance

Lib/xmlrpc/server.py:173–207

Registers an instance to respond to XML-RPC requests. Only one instance can be installed at a time. If the registered instance has a _dispatch method then that method will be called with the name of the XML-RPC method and its parameters as a tuple e.g. insta

(self, instance, allow_dotted_names=False)

        Only one instance can be installed at a time.

        If the registered instance has a _dispatch method then that
        method will be called with the name of the XML-RPC method and
        its parameters as a tuple
        e.g. instance._dispatch('add',(2,3))

        If the registered instance does not have a _dispatch method
        then the instance will be searched to find a matching method
        and, if found, will be called. Methods beginning with an '_'
        are considered private and will not be called by
        SimpleXMLRPCServer.

        If a registered function matches an XML-RPC request, then it
        will be called instead of the registered instance.

        If the optional allow_dotted_names argument is true and the
        instance does not have a _dispatch method, method names
        containing dots are supported and resolved, as long as none of
        the name segments start with an '_'.

            *** SECURITY WARNING: ***

            Enabling the allow_dotted_names options allows intruders
            to access your module's global variables and may allow
            intruders to execute arbitrary code on your machine.  Only
            use this option on a secure, closed network.
