Doug:

I tried changing 'def add(self, method, params)' to what you
suggested; unfortunately that didn't work.  In the 'call' method, I
had to change 'return server_method(method,params)' to 'return
server_method(method)' and it still doesn't keep a running total.

It looks like to me that the TestRequestHandler object is being
created and destroyed whenever someone requests/connects to the xmlrpc
server.

So... How in the world do I keep a persistent object as the request
handler?  For example, what if I wanted to use xmlrpc as a front-end
to a db; I would want the connection to the db to be persistent so I
wouldn't incur a speed penalty for connecting/disconnecting whenever
the request handler was called.

Any suggestions??  

Please???
