Just try it out: In [8]: import xmlrpclib In [9]: a = xmlrpclib.dumps(('hello world',)) In [10]: len(a) Out[10]: 80 In [11]: print a <params> <param> <value><string>hello world</string></value> </param> </params> Even with some additional boilerplate like XML declaration etc. there is still a little bit room until 10 kB are reached. :-) Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
