Well, good luck, I know of about 3-5 projects that have attempted this to date, all with
varying degrees of success, none that have become a de facto standard, what does that tell
you?

Not really. Tk blows. Looks at wxWindows, it has problems but fewer than Tkinter and looks
a lot nicer to boot.

They changed their name to Zope Corp about a year ago. Your failure to notice that
probably explains why you're missing the copious amounts of documentation now available.

done with Zope, for good reason some might add ;-)

If you're still struggling with things like that, you really shouldn't be attempting what

...you use the xmlrpc lib with authentication built in as opposed to the one without
Authentication ;-) ZSyncher includes this...

anyway, work to do...
