For some more on xml-rpc and Python you could read Dave Warner's article on the O'Reilly Network. http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/python/2000/11/22/xmlrpcclient.html In a followup to this article Warner will give information on setting up a simple xml-rpc server with Python. We should publish that article in a couple of weeks. -Stephen R. Figgins
