Sorry, must have been sleeping while typing this crappy design.

Should be:

def connect(xmlrpc_host=None):
        if xmlrpc_host is not None:
                return xmlrpclib.Server(xmlrpc_host)
        else:
                import my_server_module
                return my_server_module.my_service_class()

and then, anything in the rest of the client module will be entirely 
transparent; no "if's" needed at all.

Any service module, if run as "__main__", should run as XMLRPC server 
and use sys.argv[1] as port argument
If imported, it should have a function "runXMLRPCserver(port)" to start 
the server programmatically if needed

Of course, one would polish up connnect() a bit to implement lazy 
/cached connections/objects
