Pyro

Pyro - Python Remote Objects - 4.9¶

What is Pyro?¶

It is a library that enables you to build applications in which objects can talk to each other over the network, with minimal programming effort. You can just use normal Python method calls to call objects on other machines. Pyro is written in 100% pure Python and therefore runs on many platforms and Python versions, including Python 3.x .
