                  XMLRPCIntrospection

Implement the XML-RPC Introspection API.

By default, the methodHelp method returns the 'help' method attribute, if it exists, otherwise the __doc__ method attribute, if it exists, otherwise the empty string.

To enable the methodSignature method, add a 'signature' method attribute containing a list of lists. See methodSignature's documentation for the format. Note the type strings should be XML-RPC types, not Python types.

Method Summary

Method Details

### __init__(self, parent) (Constructor) Implement Introspection support for an XMLRPC server. Parameters: `parent` - the XMLRPC server to add Introspection support to. Overrides: `twisted.web.xmlrpc.XMLRPC.__init__`

### xmlrpc_listMethods(self) Return a list of the method names implemented by this server.

### xmlrpc_methodHelp(self, method) Return a documentation string describing the use of the given method.

### xmlrpc_methodSignature(self, method) Return a list of type signatures. Each type signature is a list of the form [rtype, type1, type2, ...] where rtype is the return type and typeN is the type of the Nth argument. If no signature information is available, the empty string is returned.
