I have a working XMLRPC implementation for django. Here is how to use it:
Add the following to urlpatterns:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^xmlrpc/', 'myproject.apps.xrpc.views.xrpc.serve'),
)
I have borrowed code heavily from SimpleXMLRPCServer, which comes with standard python distribution, so we have the same API as described in its documentation, other than the constructor. I have added some security enhancement, so every published method must contain a public attribute which must be set to True before we would serve it.
Here is an example xrpc.py:
from django.contrib.xmlrpc import SimpleXMLRPCView
class c:
def f(self):
return "public func, will be served."
f.public = True
def g(self):
return "private, wont be served."
serve = SimpleXMLRPCView()
serve.register_instance(c())
Finally an example of how to use it:
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8000/xrpc/')
>>> server.f()
'public func, will be served.'
>>> server.g()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Will attach the patch shortly.
