1. Have you enabled logging in your XML-RPC server? What output are you
getting?

2. Are you sure that your client is connecting to the correct URL?

3. Try subclassing SimpleXMLRPCServer, like so (code not tested):

class MyServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):

    def handle_request(self):
        request, client_address = self.get_request()
        if self.verify_request(request, client_address):
            self.process_request(request, client_address)

This will cause the server to print exceptions and stop if they are
encountered.
