the following works for me (directly typed into python interpreter):

>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> pw = 'secret'
>>> user = 'admin'
>>> url = 'http://%(user)s:%(pw)s@bee:8080/ttt/'                  
>>> s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url % locals (), allow_none=True)
>>> msg = s.create ("msg", 'subject=hello', 'content=Hello world')
>>> msg
'211691'
>>> issue = s.create ("issue", 'messages=%s'%msg, 'title=Hello', 'release=1', 'responsible=117')
>>> issue
'35353'

You will have to change pw, user and url (hostname and port).
Of course the parameters of your issue class may vary (release and
responsible aren't attributes of issue in the standard roundup tracker)

Hope that helps...
