XML-RPC on my Nokia 6600 using pys60
May 3rd, 2006
I was thinking of doing this from quite some time, but was searching for the required xml parser. The pyexpat module available from PDIS made for the missing link. I installed the SIS installer available from PDIS website, copied the xmlrpclib.py (from python 2.2.3 source tarball) file to my Nokia 6600 to E:\System\Libs folder & that was it. The “import pyexpat” worked just fine, giving me more confidence to try “import xmlrpclib”… & my 6600 didn’t made me look bad 
>>> server_url = ‘http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/api/sample.php’
>>> server = xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
>>> result = server.sample.sumAndDifference(5, 3)
>>> print result
{’sum’: 8, ‘difference’: 2}
& the results were worth the effort!
This finding will add more live’liness to apps i’ve planned for flickr & youtube!
[update]
As pointed by Simo [ssalmine-AT-gmail-DOT-com], another XML parser can be found at http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76028
