Access to data from python and XMLRPC

All interfaces presented in section are available in python through XMLRPC. The implementation of the XMLRPC server is described in details in section 2.1 of chapter 2. We describe here the interface available in python, the python objects that are defined and the way the interface should be used.

The python interface is very close to the Java interface described in section 1.3 :

• Each java object has a python counterpart which is a dictionnary having the members of the Java object as entries.
• Java vectors are converted to python lists.
• Each java method has a python counterpart with the same name and same arguments.
