如何处理Python xmlrpclib连接被拒绝？

Question

我不知道我到底哪里做错了。我写了一个RPC客户端，想要连接一个不存在的服务器，我在尝试处理抛出的异常，但无论我怎么尝试，都搞不清楚该怎么处理这个问题：

def _get_rpc():
    try:
        a = ServerProxy('http://dd:LNXFhcZnYshy5mKyOFfy@127.0.0.1:9001')
        a = a.supervisor
        return a
    except:
        return False

rpc = _get_rpc()
if not rpc:
    print "No RPC"

因为没有服务器在运行，我本来期待输出是“No RPC”，但结果却出现了一个异常：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xmlrpctest.py", line 20, in <module>
    if not rpc:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1235, in request
    self.send_content(h, request_body)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1349, in send_content
    connection.endheaders()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 908, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 780, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 739, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 720, in connect
    self.timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 561, in create_connection
    raise error, msg
socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

_get_rpc 返回的是一个未连接的 ServerProxy 的 supervisor 方法的引用。这个异常并不是在你处理 _get_rpc 调用的时候发生的，而是在你尝试评估这个 supervisor 方法的时候发生的（在 "if not rpc" 这行）。你可以试着在交互式提示符下运行：

注意，当你尝试评估 .supervisor 方法时（比如 ServerProxy(...).supervisor、foo.supervisor 或 bar），会看到异常，但如果只是把它赋值到其他地方（比如 bar = foo.supervisor），就不会出现异常。
