[Gnue-dev] Two GCommBase Questions

[Harald Meyer]

Hi,

looking at the source code of GCommBase.py, I found two things which
kept me wondering:

1.) Line 167:
__call__ calls the associated client adapter with it self as a method.
I think I understand the principle:
ProxyObjects not only stand for remote objects, but also for their
methods. if a proxy object is called with an attribute(method) an proxy
object for it is created (with __getattr__). Now the __call__ method
emulates the calling of this method.

What I don't understand is: runMethod expects a string, but self is a
reference. Is the conversion done implictly, wenn the C-Code of
py-rpcxml is called?

2.) Lines 82 and 95:
Why does Server have two exactly equal  serveAsNewThread methods. I
guess one would be enough. This doesn't do any harm, but I made a patch
which removes one of the methods and sent it to address@hidden .
