Yes you are right and I've planned to do it.

I agree on that.

I'm in the process of trying to make it work :))
By the way I'm wondering about the need of the XMLRPC server
for synchronization purpose.
I mean I think THERE IS a real need but I think I may have done
it in another way, I would think of remotely controlled process through
an ssh link, I will try this and submit the idea.

I like the idea of being able to build autonomous binary which
could be deployed without python being installed I wonder
if it could be optional.

When I get to clarify my own ideas I will get back to you :))

By the way,  the tests says:
