+"""Simple XML-RPC Server.
+
+This module can be used to create simple XML-RPC servers
+by creating a server and either installing functions, a
+class instance, or by extending the SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler
+class.
+
+A list of possible usage patterns follows:
+
+1. Install functions:
+
+server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
+server.register_function(pow)
+server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
+server.serve_forever()
+
+2. Install an instance:
+
+class MyFuncs:
+    def __init__(self):
+        # make all of the string functions available through
+        # string.func_name
+        import string
+        self.string = string
+    def pow(self, x, y): return pow(x, y)
+    def add(self, x, y) : return x + y
+server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
+server.register_instance(MyFuncs())
+server.serve_forever()
+
+3. Install an instance with custom dispatch method:
+
+class Math:
+    def _dispatch(self, method, params):
+        if method == 'pow':
+            return apply(pow, params)
+        elif method == 'add':
+            return params[0] + params[1]
+        else:
+            raise 'bad method'
+server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
+server.register_instance(Math())
+server.serve_forever()
+
+4. Subclass SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler:
+
+class MathHandler(SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler):
+    def _dispatch(self, method, params):
+        try:
+            # We are forcing the 'export_' prefix on methods that are
+            # callable through XML-RPC to prevent potential security
+            # problems
+            func = getattr(self, 'export_' + method)
+        except AttributeError:
+            raise Exception('method "%s" is not supported' % method)
+        else:
+            return apply(func, params)
+
+    def log_message(self, format, *args):
+        pass # maybe do something fancy like write the messages to a file
+
+    def export_add(self, x, y):
+        return x + y
+
+server = SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000), MathHandler)
+server.serve_forever()
