[issue8792] xmlrpclib compatibility issues with Apache XML-RPC library

[Bhargav]

I am seeing the same exception when the server returns ex:nil, even when I 
enable allow_none.

The library only accepts 'nil' not 'ex:nil'

As a workaround, I have added dispatch["ex:nil"] to my local library (which is 
obviously not a solution)

[issue8792] Support Apache extensions to XML-RPC in xmlrpclib

[Bhargav]

Bhargav  added the comment:

What I do is not a possible solution, because some other machine might add 
e:nil, what we need is XML namespace parsing.

Also I can't really use my solution, as it makes my client non-portable, I cant 
move it from my dev machine to production at all.

This is just a workaround so that I am not stuck at ex:nil for my development.

I am not an expert in xmlrpc nor in python to really contribute a patch, but if 
I could really do think of something, I will contribute it.

Having said that, I know for sure the server works for Java clients and I have 
heard it works for .Net.

I know this is not a standard, but a widely used and published extension, and 
hence I think we should atleast port it back to the 2.7 branch as not everyone 
has moved to python 3 yet.
