xmlrpclib replaced with xmlrpc in Python3 (#1012)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The xmlrpclib of Python 2.x was replaced in Python 3 with
xmlrpc [1]. Since Bandit no longer supports Python 2.x, it needs
to update to the latest module name.

As indicted in [2], xmlrpc is still not secure against maliciously
constructed data.
