Is liststreams supported by JSON-RPC ?

Question

Hi,

I'm using the new Stream feature of MultiChain with JSON-RPCand I can't access the list of streams.... When I use liststream in collaborative mode it works fine and I get the right infos, but when I call this command from my python code all I get is this message :

<bitcoinrpc.authproxy.AuthServiceProxy object at 0x7fb81b741fd0>

Any idea why that is ?

Thanks !

It might be an issue with the Python library you're using not yet supporting the liststreams API call. In any event the multichain-cli program is just a wrapped for the JSON-RPC interface so it won't be an issue with MultiChain itself.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer, I understand. I'm using this library :  Python-BitcoinRPC (https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc), which I found following your JSON-RPC API page.
Would you advise to use this library : python-JSONRPC (http://json-rpc.org/wiki/python-json-rpc) which is the official but "inefficient" according to the website ?
Thank you !

I'm afraid we're not familiar enough with these libraries to advise. There are also libraries developed specifically for MultiChain at the end of this page: http://www.multichain.com/developers/

Thank you for your advice, I tried using the Python library called "Savoir" mentioned on the page you gave and it worked.
