xmlrpc / SimpleXMLRPCServer and multi-threading

[Marco Aschwanden]

I would like to develop a server based on python's xmlrpc. But I
realized that SimpleXMLRPCServer does not spawn a thread for each
request.

How could the SimpleXMLRPCServer be turned into a multi-threaded
Server?
Is there a reason why the SimpleXMLRPCServer is not multi-threaded?
Is there a plan to make it multi-threaded?

Thanks for any hints in advance,
Cheers,
Marco

I had also faced the same problem some time ago. To use the SimpleXMLRPCServer as a multithreaded server, I just changed the SocketServer.TCPServer to SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer in the definition of the SimpleXMLRPCServer class and it worked fine for me. But it was on Python 2.2 and I haven't tried on later versions.

Look for ThreadingMixin in the SocketServer reference. You should be able to
create a new class derived from both SimpleXMLRPCServer and ThreadingMixIn
to achieve a thread-per-request server.
