>>> import xmlrpc.client
>>> xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('https://login:password@example.com')
<ServerProxy for login:password@example.com/RPC2>

Because this repr is included in error messages, this can lead to leaking the password:

>>> xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('https://login:password@example.com').method()
