Yeah, the insert demo isn't implemented in all languages because the
insert API just finalized. I had lots of complaints with it for a while,
so I didn't want to write a demo which would instantly be outdated and I
would forget to update. I'd be happy to add your demo script when you get
it working. I'd actually prefer that people other than me write these
things because then I'll know if it's a big pain that I'm just used to, or
if it actually is easy. The entire point of the XML-RPC is to make it as
easy as humanly possible for you to write a client.

There are three XML-RPC APIs, as you might have noticed. Simple is the
simplest. Don't try to use it for big files. But it's nice and concise if
you have small files.
So, in python, you want to do:
from xmlrpclib import *
from status import *
client = Server("http://localhost:6690/";)
data = Binary("this is the contents of the file")
client.simple.putFile(sys.argv[2], 20, data)
Just e-mail me off list if you have any other questions or if you think
the API could be improved in any way.

Having used the various APIs a lot, I'd recommend Streaming.
