A struct should be unserialized to a Python dict no problem.

It's hard to say from here what is going on, but Twisted's
XMLRPC class is so simple it should be easy to add a few
print statements to find out what is happening. Check out
the XMLRPC.render(...) function. You might want to print
the request content and unserialized arguments as a starting
point.
