XMLRPC - C Client / Python Server

[care02@gmail.com]

I have implemented a simple Python XMLRPC server and need to call it
from a C/C++ client. What is the simplest way to do this? I need to
pass numerical arrays from C/C++ to Python.

Yours, Carl

If you just googled for "xmlrpc c", you would've found
http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/ , which appears to be the best (and
possibly only) option for this.
Also, this isn't really Python-related if you think about it.

Which do you need, C or C++? They are two different languages with
different possibilities for libraries.

As the other poster mentioned, xmlrpc-c is a good one for C, and also
comes with bindings for C++ which I have used. Getting xmlrpc-c
compiled can be a real challenge though. I recommend you use binary
packages for your distribution of Linux. If you need it on Win32, then
you'll have to spend a day or two figuring out how to build it on
Windows. I eventually got the both the C and C++ client library built
in Mingw with libcurl as the transport. But it was a real pain.

My problem is that I need xmlrpc-c (preferably the C++ bindings) on
windows. I have just started to build xmlrpc-c on windows, but no
success yet, seems to be quite troublesome. Are there any other xmlrpc
libraries for C/C++ around with prebuilt binaries that work in a
client/server configuration with Python as a xmlrpc server?

The whole point of XML-RPC is to be language-neutral, so the "with
Python" part of your requirements is superfluous.
On that note, you might want to try asking in a newsgroup/mailinglist
that's more XML-RPC or Windows or C(++) specific.

Chris
