[Tutor] XML-RPC data transfers.

[Chris Hengge]

Boo bloatware! Don't even mention those... heheh.. I even turn off most the
services on my system to keep things clean.. But thats another story..

Going off your thoughts that I'm asking to do something outside the realm of
the readers here, is there a better place to ask this kind of oddball stuff?
I've looked around and haven't been able to find any support for XML-RPC
(might be a good sign to drop it and move to something else?) I'm on the
win32 list, and python-list, but I mostly just read those since in my mind
most of what I have questions about are noobish things since I'm still
trying to get a handle on this language...
