I installed the latest version of MySQLdb yesterday and got mildly bitten by a change Andy Dustman made. He began returning BLOB fields as array objects created with a 'c' typecode. Since MySQL doesn't distinguish between TEXT and BLOB fields, I was temporarily unable to pass SQL results back through my XML-RPC interface (I use TEXT, but not BLOB). Andy and I discussed it and he decided to back out this change to MySQLdb. That got me to thinking. Perhaps xmlrpclib should do the obvious thing with array objects. For all numeric typecodes it should marshal them to lists. For 'c' and 'u' typecodes it's a bit more problematic. Should they be lists or strings (or Unicode strings)? Fredrik, have you considered whether xmlrpclib could or should support array objects? Skip
