Can work be started with doing a xml-rpc service ? Or someone defining the

I think XML-RPCising the whole business layer is a bad idea, as well as 
Karsten's
objections, I think it will be too slow, as it means making 20-30 XML-RPC calls
for each web page load.

Instead I would suggest a "high-level" web-specific server, with 1 function 
exposed
to XML-RPC for each web page load. This doesn't return HTML, but instead a 
Python
dictionary with all the required fields which the web layer templates can use 
directly.
Because the web layer would *just* be a templater (IOW the "V" of MVC), PHP 
under Apache
is the best option IMHO,

Session state would reside with the XML-RPC server, again I'm proposing the 
server use fork () for
each user login.
