I want to access a GWT service from a Python script, so I want to generate a x-gwt-rpc request manually. Can't seem to find any info on the format of a GWT RPC call, since everybody does it from Java (so the call is generated by the framework). Where can I find some detailed documentation about this format?

Don't think it is a trivial task to do that, but because gwt is opensource i would say that the source-code is a pretty good documentation for how it works, if you know java that is.

I was hoping for a more optimistic answer, but judging by the lack of interest in answering this question, this is probably the only way to go. It was not a priority until now, but I'll have to dig into it soon. Thanks. :) – ibz Aug 31 '10 at 02:12

I stumbled on the same problem as you and I think I solved it rather easily. Though I haven't figured out how to catch the response properly, I managed to get the response and successfully send the request. Here is what I did:
import requests
url = 'yours url'
header = {'Accept':'*/*',
'Accept-Encoding':'gzip, deflate',
etc...
}
cookie = {cookies if needed
}
data_g = 'this would be request payload u can see in F12 of browser '# u just copy it and paste it, !!!like a string (UTF-8 chars)
t = requests.post(url, headers=header, data = data_g, cookies = cookie)
print vars(t).keys()
#line above will print all variables of t
print t
