[issue7165] xmlrpc.server assumes sys.stdout will have a buffer attribute

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Well this is in the CGI implementation, and it's reasonable to assume
that CGI will only be used with a real stream. Besides, the encoding
used with stdout must be the xmlrpc encoding (probably utf-8), not the
default encoding of standard streams on the system, which means direct
access to the underlying binary stream must be possible.

(however, _marshaled_dispatch() is quite strange in that it accepts str
but returns bytes)

I propose to fix test_xmlrpc instead so that it uses a BytesIO wrapped
in a TextIOWrapper. Patch included.
