Hello,

But what I would like to know, is if is there any reason why XML-RPC can't
optionally work over TLS/SSL using Python's ssl module. I'll create a
ticket, and send a patch, but I was wondering if it was a reason why this
was not implemented.

I think there's no deeper reason than nobody thought about it.  The ssl
module is new in 2.6 and 3.x, xmlrpc is an older module for an old
technology *cough*, so feel free to open a bug report.  Patch guidelines
are found at http://docs.python.org/devguide  Thanks in advance!

What he said.  I'm not a big fan of XMLRPC in the first place, so I
probably didn't even notice that there wasn't SSL support for it.

Go for it!

I know it's been some time but I've only now spotted the thread and just in case it could be helpful to anyone, Spring Python project has implemented the feature last year for Python 2.x
