XML-RPC is a simple, lightweight Web services technology that predates SOAP. In this installment of the Python Web services developer, Mike Olson and Uche Ogbuji examine the XML-RPC facilities in Python. XML-RPC is the granddaddy of XML Web services. It is a simple specification for remote procedure calls (RPC) that uses HTTP as the transport protocol and an XML vocabulary as the message payload. It has become very popular because of its simplicity (the full specification is less than ten printed pages), and most languages now have standard or readily available XML-RPC implementations. This includes Python, which started bundling xmlrpclib, an XML-RPC implementation by Fredrik Lundh, in version 2.2. Joe Johnston's IBM developerWorks article "Using XML-RPC for Web services" (see Resources<http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-pyth10.html#resources>) covers the basics of XML-RPC in the first three sections. Start there if you need to review the basic technology. In this article, we will focus on using the Python implementation. You must have Python 2.2. to run the examples in this article. Also, in the last article, we looked at the relative performance of XML-RPC, SOAP, and other distributed programming technologies. You may want to read that before making major decisions to deploy XML-RPC.
