except that if the OP's expecting the other end to use an ordinary XML-RPC
library, he needs to implement some minimal HTTP handling as well.
import sys
import mimetools, xmlrpclib
command = sys.stdin.readline()
# optional: check command syntax (POST url HTTP/1.X)
headers = mimetools.Message(sys.stdin)
# optional: check content-type etc
bytes = int(headers.get("content-length", 0))
# optional: check request size, etc
params, method = xmlrpclib.loads(sys.stdin.read(bytes))
# handle the method
result = ...
# marshaller expects a tuple
result = (result, )
response = xmlrpclib.dumps(result, methodresponse=1)
print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK"
print "Content-Type: text/xml"
print "Content-Length:", len(response)
print
print response
