UTSL ;-)

Look at /usr/lib/python2.4/SimpleXMLRPCServer.py (adjust as per your
distro) and in particular the definition of the CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler class.

That looks as thought it almost, or maybe completely, does what you
want, ie an XMLRPC subclass which reads from stdin and writes to
stdout.
