While I'm with you regarding the monstrosity of SOAP, XMLRPC certainly isn't among the crappy IPC-protocols. Using it, you get type marshalling for some simple, yet important cases for free. Including such things as argument-order, and ordered values. Which for example make transmitting a dict a trivial operation of transmitting the two sequences of key/values. I don't see that with REST. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
