After talking with clona in #ser on Freenode, I've learned that CVS-HEAD has some great XML-RPC implementation. clona also mentioned that a new release might not be far away.

Would anyone mind commenting on how much the current XML-RPC implementation might change between now and the next release? I'd love to use it but am concerned about developing the necessary clients to interact with it now, and having to redo them when the next release comes out.

It won't change much (if at all). You do not need to develop your clients from scratch, there is a new version of serctl available in sip_router/tools/serctl (written in python) which uses this new interface for remote SER administration. You just need to configure the address of the server in serctl.conf (that would be something like http://localhost:5060 for server on localhost)

And then run ser_rpc system.listMethod to display the list of commands available in that SER instance. you can then run any of them.

The new ser-ctl tool set will be always kept up-to-date, regardless of the changes in the server functions, so you can use that as a base for your own commands.

One of the design goal of the ser-ctl was to make it possible to reuse the classes/functions from other applications, so reusing the internals should be (hopefully) easy enough.
