Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: xmlrpclib won't marshal new types

Initial Comment: Maybe xmlrpclib should be modified to allow it to marshal subclasses of builtin types (ints, strings, etc). Here's a simple example that demonstrates that it currently won't work with a subclass of str:

import xmlrpclib class MyString(str): ... pass ... s = MyString("sdfsdfsdf") s 'sdfsdfsdf' s.class <class '__main__.MyString'> xmlrpclib.dumps((s,)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 752, in dumps data = m.dumps(params) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 448, in dumps self.__dump(v) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/xmlrpclib.py", line 459, in __dump raise TypeError, "cannot marshal %s objects" % type(value) TypeError: cannot marshal <class '__main__.MyString'> objects
