I don't follow the connection you're trying to make here.  XML-RPC and SOAP
are network protocols used for communication between a client and a server;
what the server or client *do* with the data they receive is up to them and
not part of the protocol definition.  You simply have to roll your own
mechanism, or use an existing module such as pickle, ZODB, or an RDBMS.
