# XML-RPC CLIENT LIBRARY
# $Id: xmlrpclib.py 41594 2005-12-04 19:11:17Z andrew.kuchling $
#
# an XML-RPC client interface for Python.
#
# the marshalling and response parser code can also be used to
# implement XML-RPC servers.
#
# Notes:
# this version is designed to work with Python 2.1 or newer.
#
# History:
# 1999-01-14 fl  Created
# 1999-01-15 fl  Changed dateTime to use localtime
# 1999-01-16 fl  Added Binary/base64 element, default to RPC2 service
# 1999-01-19 fl  Fixed array data element (from Skip Montanaro)
# 1999-01-21 fl  Fixed dateTime constructor, etc.
# 1999-02-02 fl  Added fault handling, handle empty sequences, etc.
# 1999-02-10 fl  Fixed problem with empty responses (from Skip Montanaro)
# 1999-06-20 fl  Speed improvements, pluggable parsers/transports (0.9.8)
# 2000-11-28 fl  Changed boolean to check the truth value of its argument
# 2001-02-24 fl  Added encoding/Unicode/SafeTransport patches
# 2001-02-26 fl  Added compare support to wrappers (0.9.9/1.0b1)
# 2001-03-28 fl  Make sure response tuple is a singleton
# 2001-03-29 fl  Don't require empty params element (from Nicholas Riley)
# 2001-06-10 fl  Folded in _xmlrpclib accelerator support (1.0b2)
# 2001-08-20 fl  Base xmlrpclib.Error on built-in Exception (from Paul Prescod)
# 2001-09-03 fl  Allow Transport subclass to override getparser
# 2001-09-10 fl  Lazy import of urllib, cgi, xmllib (20x import speedup)
# 2001-10-01 fl  Remove containers from memo cache when done with them
# 2001-10-01 fl  Use faster escape method (80% dumps speedup)
# 2001-10-02 fl  More dumps microtuning
# 2001-10-04 fl  Make sure import expat gets a parser (from Guido van Rossum)
# 2001-10-10 sm  Allow long ints to be passed as ints if they don't overflow
# 2001-10-17 sm  Test for int and long overflow (allows use on 64-bit systems)
# 2001-11-12 fl  Use repr() to marshal doubles (from Paul Felix)
# 2002-03-17 fl  Avoid buffered read when possible (from James Rucker)
# 2002-04-07 fl  Added pythondoc comments
# 2002-04-16 fl  Added __str__ methods to datetime/binary wrappers
# 2002-05-15 fl  Added error constants (from Andrew Kuchling)
# 2002-06-27 fl  Merged with Python CVS version
# 2002-10-22 fl  Added basic authentication (based on code from Phillip Eby)
# 2003-01-22 sm  Add support for the bool type
# 2003-02-27 gvr Remove apply calls
# 2003-04-24 sm  Use cStringIO if available
# 2003-04-25 ak  Add support for nil
# 2003-06-15 gn  Add support for time.struct_time
# 2003-07-12 gp  Correct marshalling of Faults
# 2003-10-31 mvl Add multicall support
# 2004-08-20 mvl Bump minimum supported Python version to 2.1
