Using xmlrpclib to schedule a remote command

Latest response

Has anyone experienced issues using this Python library? I have to use it with Satellite's API and it constantly gives me problems. For example, when trying to schedule a script remotely I use:

 

import xmlrpclib

earliest_occurrence = xmlrpclib.DateTime()

client.system.scheduleScriptRun(key, id, "root", "root", 600, script, earliest_occurrence)

 

Sometimes it works but most of the time I get this error in response:

 

TypeError: cannot marshal <type 'function'> objects
TypeError: cannot marshal <type 'function'> objects
 
Is there a way around using this xmlrpclib function to schedule the time? I have found this library to be extremely inconsistent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
