Remote Function Call

[Mike]

Hi,

I have two machines. A python program on machine 1 needs to make a
python call to a method in machine 2. What is the most efficient / fast
/ programmer friendly way to do it?

- XML-RPC?
- Http Call?

Thanks,
Mike

multiple machines... how do they do it?

Some Custom Mechanism: Pyro or SPREAD f.ex.

XML-RPC - the client and server is already included in Python's standard
libraries!

The protocol is text-based so it is easy to generate test cases for each
component.

please look carefully at this page:

http://pyro.sourceforge.net/manual/9-security.html

particulary:

http://pyro.sourceforge.net/manual/9-security.html#pickle

another option is to use "Perspectiv e Broker" from the Twisted Matrix
framework
