Maybe I misunderstand, but xmlrpclib on Python2.6 and the new CDN work fine together.

$ python2.6                                                                                 (pypi)
Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Oct 11 2012, 20:15:00)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
