If I could you give a suggestion on how to structure the server side of
your program:

The ``Task`` class in a separate file, this is fine, clients could
import the file without the need to import the non useful, for the
client, server code.

All the server logic in a file and a third file for the tap, here a
possible structure:

	procxmlrpc/
		|- client.py
		|- server.py
		`- task.py
	twisted/
		`- plugins/
			`- procxmlrpc_plugin.py

Here the simplified code, all the remaining code goes into ``server.py``

	from procxmlrpc.server import Spawner

	from twisted.web import server
	from twisted.application import service, internet

	application = service.Application("Demo application")
	spawn_server = server.Site(Spawner())
	service = internet.TCPServer(7080, spawn_server)
	service.setServiceParent(application)
