I sort of had a need for this myself recently when writing some Python XML-RPC code, but didn't do it because I could manage to debug my code without it - but I remember noticing that my XML-RPC server was logging the requests to stdout, by default (without any code by me to do it). So I think the approach I mention above should work - just look around in the server source code for where it does that, and modify it as per need. - Vasudev -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
