No, you didn't :-). I could add these options or even write an xinetd-only program, that's all fine with me. The problem is that I do not see how to let an SimpleXMLRPCServer instance *not* bind to a port or what other class I can use to just build a XML-RPC request handler reading/writing from stdin/stdout, i.s.o. carrying all the server class stuff with it. -- -- Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
