*sigh* "As often is the case Python leads the way." If 5.8 were to have LWP and XML support native, I could ensure that my RPC::XML package would work, to accomplish the same thing for Perl. I could probably remove some of the dependancy (some of the usage of LWP packages could be done with re-invented wheels), but I don't know how else Perl can face off against this: ------- Forwarded Message From: "Dave Winer" <dave@userland.com> Mailing-List: list xml-rpc@yahoogroups.com; contact xml-rpc-owner@yahoogroups.com Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 16:19:03 -0700 Subject: [xml-rpc] Python to bake-in XML-RPC support I just got a note from Eric Raymond saying that the Python community [1] has decided to bake XML-RPC into its standard distribution. He said: "Fredrik Lundh's xmlrpclib was checked into the CVS tree for Python 2.2 this morning after about the fastest and most unanimous endorsement I have ever seen on python-dev. I am writing the library documentation even as we speak." As often is the case Python leads the way. This is a major milestone for XML-RPC. It's also very important to emphasize [2] that any scripting environment can be competitive with Microsoft .NET simply by taking this step. There are already 37 implementations [3] of XML-RPC covering most programming and scripting environments and operating systems. I would also like to see SOAP 1.1 broadly supported in non-Microsoft environments. When support is built into an environment, developers can assume it's there, and will more likely use it in their applications. Now which environment will be next? (I'd love to see Sun take this step with Java.)
