I am using simpleXMLRPCServer. Yes, XML-RPC does use http as its transport protocol, but it does not have to run in the context of a web-server. You can run XML-RPC 'under' CGI but that costs a lot in performance (continual re-loads) and, more importantly, forces a REST model on to the XML-RPC server. I am treating XML-RPC as a socket server that happens to use http for its transport. > You seem to be making a fairly easy task very complicated. > Yes, quite possibly. Just for fun, I am experimenting with ways to build portable desktop GUI applications - where portability includes independence from window managers. I am trying to use a browser as the window manager for a (Python) application. > Remember that portable JavaScript is quite hard to write due to > browser > differences. I plan to use something like Google Web Toolkit for the browser-side code. GWT (and many others tools and libraries) abstracts away browser differences. I don't plan to manipulate the browser DOM directly. Sadly, the Pyjamas project has died - Pyjamas promised to be like GWT, but used Python instead of Java for writing the ui code. Thx.
