Thanks for the report and patch. You may find the following guidelines useful

I have two questions about the proposed fix. First, this line caught my eye:
if tag.split(':')[1] == 'nil':
It seems wrong to handle a nil element from any namespace the same way. I
think namespaces should be supported properly or not at all.
Second point, can you point us to documentation about nil? The Wikipedia
article about XML-RPC and http://ontosys.com/xml-rpc/extensions.php agree that
nil should not be a child of value, but say nothing about a namespace. If it’s
a band-aid for one specific server, I don’t think it’s acceptable.
