+==== Task: XML-RPC – Remote Task Manager ====
+The goal of this exercise is to understand how **Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)** work in a client–server architecture using the XML-RPC protocol. Implement a simple **task management system** consisting of a Python **XML-RPC server** and a Python **client application**.
+==== Server ====
+Create an XML-RPC server in Python that manages a list of tasks. Each task should contain the following fields:
+  * **id** – unique integer identifier
+  * **title** – short text describing the task
+  * **completed** – boolean value indicating whether the task is finished
+The server must provide the following remote methods:
+^ Method ^ Description ^
+| add_task(title) | Creates a new task and returns the generated task ID |
+| list_tasks() | Returns all tasks as a list of dictionaries |
+| complete_task(task_id) | Marks the specified task as completed |
+| delete_task(task_id) | Removes the specified task |
+| get_task(task_id) | Returns the details of a single task |
+| get_task_by_title(title) | Returns the details of a single task (by title string) |
+The server should store tasks **in memory** while it is running.
+==== Client ====
+Write a Python client that connects to the XML-RPC server and allows the user to interact with the task manager. The client program should:
+  * connect to the XML-RPC server
+  * call the remote methods
+  * display results in a readable format
+The client should provide a simple **command line menu**, for example:
+<code python>
+- Add task
+- List tasks
+- Complete task
+- Delete task
+- Show task details by id
+- Show task details by title
+- Exit
