I've since had more success with mtsend.py. Some basic tests like posting, retrieving, and "editing" content check out, but that's as far as I got. If categories work out, too, my current requirements are met.
I managed to make the client work, but you have to patch xmlrpc::call, xmlrpc::buildRequest to extract the path to xmlrpc.php from the URL (otherwise, tcl xmlrpc try to post at /RC2 instead of /drupal/xmlrpc.php).
The {lf lf} socket translation parameter has to be changed to crlf too.
If mtsend.py works out of the box, it is perhaps better...

another candidate...
...might be Perl's Net::Blogger module as a basis for a couple of scripts, but I suspect this one also needs a bit of patching.
how did you make it work
