<p>Pip has an option to upgrade a package (_pip install -U_), however it always downloads sources even if there is already a newest version installed. If you want to check updates for all installed packages then some scripting is required.</p>
<p>This script checks if there is a newer version on PyPI for every installed package. It only prints information about available version and doesn't do any updates. Example output:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code>distribute 0.6.15 0.6.16 available

</p>
<p>This recipe shows how to create JSON RPC client and server objects. The aim is to mimic the standard python XML-RPC API both on the client and server sides, but using JSON marshalling. It depends on cjson (<a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-cjson" rel="nofollow">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-cjson</a>) for the encoding/decoding of JSON data. This recipe tries to reuse the code of XML-RPC as much as possible.</p>

</p>
<p>To access an XML-RPC server through a proxy which requires authentication, you need to define a custom transport. the custom transport mentioned in the python docs, allows only proxy server's which do not require authentication. (<a href="http://docs.python.org/lib/xmlrpc-client-example.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/lib/xmlrpc-client-example.html</a>). Have tried to use urllib which has support for proxy server and added the headers required for authentication. Idea to use urllib was taken from this thread (<a href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-July/098183.html%29" rel="nofollow">http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-July/098183.html)</a></p>

Revision 2.
</p>
<p>These classes subclass several of the culprits in twisted.web.xmlrpc that are responsible for not being able to make autenticated XML-RPC calls.</p>
<p>Note that this recipe also makes use of the URI classes that were posted in a previous recipe here:
<a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/473864" rel="nofollow">http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/473864</a></p>
<p>I will submit a patch to twisted along these lines, but there will be no references to the custom Uri module or code.</p>
<p>Update: XML-RPC Authentication is now supported in Twisted (version 2.4 included a patch based on this recipe). If you are using a recent version of Twisted or can update to a recent version, this recipe is no longer needed.</p>

Revision 8.
</p>
<p>I was writing a custom Twisted XML-RPC server for radio station DJs to use, but one station was managing all of its internal web app users and groups through Zope. Twisted has an amazingly pluggable authentication framework, so the requirement was satisfied with the following.</p>
<p>Note that in this simple example, every time a user executes an XML-RPC method, they are authenticating against Zope. This involves an xmlrpclib.ServerProxy instantiation as well as the overhead of making a network connection to Zope. For this reason, as well as in the event of Zope being down, one might want to implement some form of caching (without passwords), so that application functionality is not impacted by Zope downtime and overhead from authentication is only incurred when necessary.</p>
<p>radix makes a very good point in the comments: the use of xmlrpclib in this recipe is blocking. This means that if you have 10, 20, whatever number of people using the app, and someone new logs in, the twisted reactor can't do it's usual thing and cycle through requests until that user finishes logging in. I will post an update that makes use of the non-blocking t.w.xmlrpc code. The solution will be messier, though, as t.w.xmlrpc is broken in that it doesn't handle scheme://username:pass@host:port URLs. This is due to the fact that t.w.xmlrpc.QueryProtocol doesn't set an Authentication header... and there's no mechanism in t.w.xmlrpc.Proxy and QueryFactory for parsing and setting user and password into from the URL.</p>
<p>Update: see the comments below for how to work around this limitation.</p>

</p>
<p>Python's xmlrpclib only raises the xmlrpclib.Fault exception, but it can be convenient to allow more different kinds of exceptions to be raised. This recipe provides a customized subclass of xmlrpclib.ServerProxy that looks for Fault exceptions where the message is of the form <exception name>:<message>, and raises the corresponding exception.</p>

<p>Storing modules in a central location, which are used by remote, seperate clients has obvious benefits. This recipe describes a method by which modules can be fetched from a remote server and compiled into bytecode modules which are used by the client.</p>

Revision 3.
</p>
<p>Shows how to remotely access a database via a web service supporting XML-RPC and SOAP protocols. The example uses the MySQLdb module, but should be easily customised to any database with Python module adhering to the Python DB API. The web service interface provides the ability to make a self contained query, or allows the creation of a distinct database cursor to service a series of queries or updates without other clients interfering. Cursors automatically expire and delete themselves after a set period of inactivity if not explicitly closed.</p>

<p>This is yet another example of an XML-RPC capable web service. Where this example is different though, is that the service can be accessed at the same time using the SOAP protocol. Confusion is avoided by clients for each protocol using different URLs to access the service.</p>
