<F> Don't recall if someone else has done something similar, but I just whipped together a small client library for Frontier's XML-RPC protocol: http://www.pythonware.com/madscientist/ This one is completely self-contained (works on top of any standard 1.5 installation). I'm sure Dave Winer would be really happy if this made it into the XML SIG distribution some day ;-) </F>
