Hi,
    I have been working on the xmlrpc service as part of the
bzr-xmloutput plugin.

bzr branch lp:bzr-xmloutput

In the branch there is a very simple client.py that acts like bzr
executable as an usage example of the xmlrpc service.

It actually can be used just like bzr-service, but with the advantage
of handling stderr and the drawback of not haaving a C client.

It have some limitations regarding UI, like don't handling stdin
properly, i.e: if user input is required.

Cheers,
