I'm putting together a new project which I'm using to learn Python and have questions about pyro. I like the idea of the abstraction that pyro offers from sockets programming but I cannot determine if I'm giving up some possibly needed functionality.
If the server needs to send an unsolicited ad hoc message to a given client, is this possible? (New message or a reminder, for instance) I suppose I could poll a server side list from the client but I'm wondering if the server can initiate the exchange. Also, if a client wishes to converse with another particular client (in a chat or IM situation, for instance). What's a good mechanism for this? Does pyro create a persistent client/server connection? What happens if a pyro client goes down hard? Does it's process continue or is there a cleanup mechanism? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
