I have an existing xmlrpc module of my own making that I use and it works fine (when xml works at all.. evidently) although I don't doubt that better modules exist. The main feature I like about it is that if you access the server with a normal web browser you can browse the code's documentation. No idea if Vampire and other xmlrpc module do that too. I really don't need anything fancy other than that though. For a different project, I do need a lightweight XML-RPC service that can run without Apache but I am thinking of trying Twisted for that. >Using Vampire's mechanism is better than SimpleXMLRPCServer as it >optionally allows you to access the original mod_python "req" object if >you need to: > > To what purpose? >Also allows publishing of basic data types such that call will return their >value without you needing to wrap them with an actual function. > > Not a bad idea. -- Michael <mogmios at mlug.missouri.edu> http://kavlon.org
