I've looked at Zope, but I simply can't find my way to good 
documentation on how to make non-DTML, all-python 'Products' that do 
XML-RPC, other than statements that it's possible. I did find a number 
of articles on Zope doing XML-RPC but most commented on that Zope needs 
a bit of work to shake its HTML-oriented roots, plus it doesn't do 
Digest auth[0], which I need.

with stuff like "This is considered a secure method of authentication. 
However, the server must store the password in plaintext." which is just 
plain wrong. The server does not need the plaintext password.
