Creating/updating/deleting records through XML-RPC

In the previous recipe, we saw how to search and read data through RPC. In this recipe, we will perform the remaining CRUD operations through RPC, which are Create, Update (write), and Delete (unlink).

Getting ready

We will create the Python program to create, write, and unlink data on the library.book model. Make sure you have installed the my_library module and that the server is running on http://localhost:8069.

How to do it...

Perform the following steps to create, write, and update a book's information through RPC:

1. Add the books_operation.py file. You can place this file anywhere you want because the RPC program will work independently.
