XML-RPC and Pickle.....

[Edward Muller]

I am trying to unpickle and object on another machine after bieng sent
via xml-rpc.....and I get the following error:
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: 'exceptions.SystemError:Failed to import
class foo from module __main__'>


it happens on the loads call....Here is basically what I do on the
client...

class someObject:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 1
        self.y = 2

    def dosomething(self):
        print self.x
        print self.y

MyServer = OPEN_XML_RPC_CONNECTION
buf = pickle.dumps(someObject)
MyServer.sendPickle(buf)


On the server I do this....


def sendPickle(buf):
    myobj = pickle.loads(buf)


and that is where it fails with the above error....

If you have any idea please drop me an email...I can send the actual
test server/client to you as well..
