[New-bugs-announce] [issue2703] SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher.__init__ is not python2.4-backward-compatible

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org>:

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/470645]

"SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher.__init__ used to take a single argument
(self) in python2.4 and now it takes three. The two new arguments
need to get default values or else this breaks backwards
compatibility badly."

while SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher is not described as part of the interface,
it is mentioned in the docs. The fix seems to be easy. Ok for trunk and
the branch?
