[Twisted-Python] Hooking up XML-RPC to twisted...

[Itamar Shtull-Trauring]

...turned out to be trivial. The following is example code (depends on 
latest CVS since twisted used to reject unknown content-types.)


===================================================================

"""Hook up an object to XML-RPC. An example session:

     >>> s= xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:7080/')
     >>> s.echo("lala")
     ['lala']
     >>> s.echo("lala", 1)
     ['lala', 1]
     >>> s.echo("lala", 4)
     ['lala', 4]
     >>> s.echo("lala", 4, 3.4)
     ['lala', 4, 3.3999999999999999]
     >>> s.echo("lala", 4, [1, 2])
     ['lala', 4, [1, 2]]
