+If you've ever used the xmlrpc utility tool from the xmlrpc-c project, then you'll recognize this as the equivalent except that it sends xmlrpc requests over scgi instead of http.  It also follows the same command line argument syntax as xmlrpc.
+
+For example:
+{{{
+~# ./xmlrpc2scgi.py -p 'scgi://localhost:33000' d.get_name s/1BEB405E5066392CDAE96EEF9F82F7D83C2343E9
+Gotan Project - Lunatico (2006)
+}}}
+
+{{{
+~# ./xmlrpc2scgi.py 'scgi://localhost:33000' d.get_name s/1BEB405E5066392CDAE96EEF9F82F7D83C2343E9
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<methodResponse>
+<params>
+<param><value><string>Gotan Project - Lunatico (2006)</string></value></param>
+</params>
+</methodResponse>
+}}}
+
+So this can be a tool for testing that xmlrpc is setup and working as well as for scripting in bash or some other scripting language.
+
+But if you're using python then you get something extra:

+
+So scripting becomes much easier in python as well as error/exception control.
