xmlrpc

Given that the xmlrpclib.Transport class can be derived, it is perhaps easier to define a new transport class that implements the patch shown in the facelift post, though I still believe Python's XML-RPC library is due a much needed update.

Update: It seems I forgot to parse the resulting payload. this is now fixed in the updated code below.

from xmlrpclib import Transport

I have been experimenting with the Python XML-RPC implementation for a while now, and yesterday, I came across what is most accurately described as a bug. Let's consider a nice figure to illustrate how the XML-RPC implementation handles things in the Python 2.5 release.
