Does anyone have experience with it? What are your thoughts, compared to
other forms of RPC?

   - https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplexmlrpcserver.html

I found it hidden away amongst the default Python libraries and am quite
astounded by it’s simplicity.

# From within Mayafrom SimpleXMLRPCServer import
SimpleXMLRPCServerimport threading
from maya import cmds

server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("127.0.0.1", 8000))
server.register_function(cmds.createNode)

t = threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever)
t.daemon = True
t.start()

And then, from a terminal.

>>> import xmlrpclib>>> proxy = 
>>> xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://127.0.0.1:8000/";)>>> 
>>> proxy.createNode("mesh")'polySurfaceShape1'
