How it works...

The XMLRPCServices class takes all services that we want to expose as initialization arguments and exposes them:

xmlrpcserver = XMLRPCServices(math=MathServices(),
                              time=TimeServices())

This is done because we expose a local object (ExposedServices) that by default is empty, but we attach to its instance all the provided services as attributes:

def __init__(self, **services):
    self.services = self.ExposedServices()
    for name, service in services.items():
        setattr(self.services, name, service)

So, we end up exposing a self.services object that has two attributes: math and time, which refer to the MathServices and TimeServices classes.

Serving them is actually done by the XMLRPCServices.serve method:

def serve(self, host='localhost', ...
