I did this a long time ago so it's not likely the best solution.

class RPCServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):

     def _dispatch(self, method, params):
         """Extend dispatch, adding client info to some parameters."""
         if method in ({my list of methods I needed client address}):
             return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method,
                                        params+(self.client_address,))
         return SimpleXMLRPCServer._dispatch(self, method, params);
