from M2Crypto import xmlrpclib2 s =3D xmlrpclib2.Server("https://uid:password@host/") raise socket.error, "nonnumeric port" socket.error: nonnumeric port Seems that the "password@host" part has been interpreted as a port number (which it is not).

May you away, when you add the port after host explicitly. s =3D xmlrpclib2.Server("https://uid:password@host:443/") If it does not help, you will need to look into the source how the host part is analysed. May need a fix .... Dieter
