XML-RPC was [pygtk] Python and Orbit Examples

[Blair Lowe]

Sounds cool.

I found pyXML. at http://download.sourceforge.net/pyxml/.

Can one send XML to an SSL site with pyXML as well? If so, where is 
some good docs for this. The version I got (PyXML-0.6.2-2.0.i386.rpm) 
has not docs, and the overview at 4suite say I need to download 
something else.

Are there some better tools for doing this. I started to look at 
Zope, but it was rather cumbersome and knowing where to start with 
the documentation was not easy to find either.

TTYL,
Blair.
