yeah... Robert pointed it to me that as xmlrpc is meant for cross-language RPC,
sending python objects over the wire isn't so useful, hence the usage of marshal

thanks for all of the help. My initial solution is to pickle my object, with the text-based version of pickle, and send it across rpc. I do this because the actual thing I am sending is a dictionary, with lots of arrays, and other things. I'll have a look at the format that Robert sent, because that looks useful for other things I am doing.
Sebastien, why is sending python objects over the wire not so useful? is there a better way to do this sort of thing than xmlrpc? I thought it looked particularly simple (other than this pickling issue, of course. :) ).
thanks,
