xmlrpclib - methodHelp doesn't work

I tried out the examples in this website for XML-RPC using python -
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2000/11/22/xmlrpcclient.html?page=2
But I get the following errors when I try to execute the code. Here is
the snippet of the code with the error messages.

<snip>

>>> meerkatsvr.system.methodSignature(meerkat.getChannels)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'meerkat' is not defined
>>> meerkatsvr.system.methodHelp(meerkat.getItems)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'meerkat' is not defined

</snip>

can someone tell me what is wrong.

Also is there any good online resource for XML-RPC with Python.
