Pyro Manual

Pyro is an acronym for PYthon Remote Objects. It is a basic Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, and for use in Python only. With this, it closely resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It has less similarity to CORBA - which is a system and language independent Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or RMI. But Pyro is small, simple, fun and free! Pyro is released under the MIT license, see the file "LICENSE".
