I recommend using /F's library.  It's less than a thousand lines of nice,
clean Python, and it doesn't duplicate any code in the Python core.

My library is quite a bit faster, but it contains lots of C code which
duplicates Python features.

The right solution is use /F's code.  And if his code isn't fast enough,
small sections can be rewritten in C without breaking the API.

Moderately popular, AFAIK--it's currently bundled with Zope, and it's one
of the nicest XML-RPC libraries out there.

I've actually used Fredrik's library in more projects than my own.  This is
probably because I'd rather program in Python than C. :-)

Cheers,
Eric
