Python install xmlrpclib

I'm in a virtualenv and trying to run a script I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "blah.py", line 15, in <module>
    from xmlrpc import server
ImportError: No module named xmlrpc

Ok so that seems that I need xmlrpc, which I'm assuming means I need xmlrpclib

So I try that:

(env) ❯❯❯ pip2.7 install xmlrpclib                                                                
Collecting xmlrpclib
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement xmlrpclib (from versions: )
  Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external xmlrpclib to allow).
No matching distribution found for xmlrpclib

Ok, so then I'll try the --allow-external to get it working:

(env) ❯❯❯ pip2.7 install --allow-external xmlrpclib                                                                                                                           ⏎ ◼
You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")

Not sure why xmlrpclib isn't seen to be a valid argument?

Be sure to use the correct interpreter. xmlrpc is part of python3, using python3 interpreter.

I'm not sure if pip provides this lib. Just download xmlrpclib from here http://effbot.org/downloads/#xmlrpclib, unpack it and then run:

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

The answer is that the module xmlrpc is part of python3, not python2.x

details: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.server.html

Should already be installed, just go ahead and use it.

I believe the answer to your question can be found here.

Try adding --allow-unverified to your last command.

EDIT: I think your import statement is wrong. The module is called xmlrpclib, not xmlrpc

If you are using python 2.x then xmlrpclib is part of standard lib. No need of installing it.

Anyway you can download xmlrpclib from http://effbot.org
