I use Pyro. Has always been fast enough for me. It spares you the troubles of bloated XML-documents other RPC-mechanisms use. Of course it is RPC, not "only" IPC - so it comes with a tradeoff. But so far, it has been always fast enough for me. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
