Fredrik Lundh 78eedce3ff updated to current PythonWare version (1.0b3). fixed type checks in
DateTime constructor.  use ServerProxy instead of Server in sample
code.

#
# XML-RPC CLIENT LIBRARY
# $Id$
#
# 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 1.5.2 or newer.
# unicode encoding support requires at least Python 1.6.
# experimental HTTPS requires Python 2.0 built with SSL sockets.
# expat parser support requires Python 2.0 with pyexpat support.
#
# 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)
