Package: python
Version: 2.4.5-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py

In [1]: import xmlrpclib

In [2]: xmlrpclib.dumps((1,), 'name', methodresponse=True)
Out[2]: "<?xml 
version='1.0'?>\n<methodCall>\n<methodName>name</methodName>\n<params>\n<param>\n<value><int>1</int></value>\n</param>\n</params>\n</methodCall>\n"

According to the documentation, this should return a methodResponse
packet, not a methodCall.

The problem is that I am sending methodname='name' as well, which
overrides methodresponse. I'd say this is worth an assertion or
other form of safety net.

(Applied to Python2.5 as well)
