SimpleXMLRPCServer - client address

[Jan Danielsson]

Hello all,

I writing an application based on the SimpleXMLRPCServer class. I
would like to know the IP address of the client performing the RPC. Is
that possible, without having to abandon the SimpleXMLRPCServer class?

I did this a long time ago so it's not likely the best solution.

class RPCServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):

def _dispatch(self, method, params):
"""Extend dispatch, adding client info to some parameters."""
if method in ({my list of methods I needed client address}):
return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method,
params+(self.client_address,))
return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method, params);
