Thanks Kevin,
You are probably right that it would add little value to browser-based apps, but it is very handy for stand-alone apps that need to communicate with the server. XML-RPC is very simple way for non-browser apps. XML-RPC is available in many Languages, and is very simple to use. Another benefit is that many of the developer that write our stand-alone apps do not write web apps. It seems to be easier for these developers to use XML-RPC then HTTP directly. Many of our tools are written in perl, java, or C++. XML-RPC makes it very easy for a stand alone app to communicate with the server without having to parse html or understand JSON. The XML-RPC bridge also buys political cover. It lets you write that python code without impacting the java/ C++/ perl developers. That is probably the main reason why I use XML-RPC. It is sad but true :-( Thanks again, Mike PS. I will take a look at the JSON for use with python. Good job with the demo
