Indeed. After seeing a BaseHTTPServer JSON-RPC server go up on the
Python Cookbook I wrote a WSGI server and made it into a tutorial:
http://pythonpaste.org/webob/jsonrpc-example.html (but it's not a
maintained library -- at least I won't be maintaining it).

Let it die? It is more complicated than necessary, when instead you
could just make each function a URL of its own, and POST the arguments
and get back the response, with 500 Server Error for errors. It's hard
to spec that up because it's too simple.
OHM (http://pythonpaste.org/ohm/) follows this model of exposing a service.
