This is a XML-RPC server, that uses arguments in URLs and every dispatcher instance is prepared in memory during webserver run. It's good, for example, for securing XML-RPC server with hashed strings and there are a lot of similar use cases.

Usage:

from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
server = ServerProxy('http://example.com/xmlr-rpc/%s/' % something, allow_none=True)
server.do_something(*args)
