Hi Andy, Your patches solves the problem too. Thanks!
One thing: if I use the unpatched xmlrpclib.py, the printed output of xml calls look like: {'state': 0, 'str': 'Info_RT'} But if I use your patch, they look like: state0strInfo_RT I prefer the former, as it is easier to extract the info. Why did this change with your patch?
