# 11.21 `SimpleXMLRPCServer` -- Basic XML-RPC server

The `SimpleXMLRPCServer` module provides a basic server framework for XML-RPC servers written in Python. The server object is based on the ``SocketServer`.TCPServer` class, and the request handler is based on the ``BaseHTTPServer`.BaseHTTPRequestHandler` class.

class `SimpleXMLRPCServer`(addr[, requestHandler[, logRequests]])
  Create a new server instance. The requestHandler parameter should be a factory for request handler instances; it defaults to `SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler`. The addr and requestHandler parameters are passed to the ``SocketServer`.TCPServer` constructor. If logRequests is true (the default), requests will be logged; setting this parameter to false will turn off logging. This class provides methods for registration of functions that can be called by the XML-RPC protocol.

class `SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler`()
  Create a new request handler instance. This request handler supports `POST` requests and modifies logging so that the logRequests parameter to the `SimpleXMLRPCServer` constructor parameter is honored.
