Understandable - i had difficulties understanding my problem too! I don't really understand why I got that error message before - I believe it was due to the fact that some other exception was being raised inside results().
Anyway, the solution was to call rpdb.set_trace() inside the actual method which was being called by xmlrpc, and setting the breakpoint to be the statement following that line (rather than the function itself). cheers --alan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
