xml xmlrpc rpc odooV8

E.M.

I am learning how to use XML RPC, however I am not even able to pass the basic connectivity test.

Any help is really welcomed:

>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> info = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8069').start()

Regarding open ports:

Already found the answer by rereading the docs:

# cat testrpc2.py
import xmlrpclib
url = 'http://localhost:8069'
db = 'mydb1'
username = 'admin'
password = 'xxxxxxxx'
common = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('{}/xmlrpc/2/common'.format(url))
output = common.version()
print output
# python testrpc2.py
{'server_version_info': [8, 0, 0, 'final', 0], 'server_serie': '8.0', 'server_version': '8.0-20150726', 'protocol_version': 1}
