Hi, I am wondering if Python has services or frameworks that does the same as Java RMI?
What I am seeking is to do "pseudo-clustering". That is, a server will contains a program to control what is needed for execution. This will be pretty much like process management. Call this controller, HeadControl.py. What HeadControl.py can do is to expose a SOAP interface. Each client machine will have Executor.py. So when Executor.py is executed, it will connect to HeadControl through SOAP. HeadControl will then spawn a thread to represent the connection. Now, this part is possible in Java, but I am not sure if it is possible in Python. Executor will find out from HeadControl what it can do and downloads the corresponding objects and data from HeadControl and executes it and sends results back to HeadControl. 2 scenarios that this might work. Firstly, Executor can be part of a client program. In this case, temporary files may be written to the client's HDD. Of course, due to security, this method may not be desirable. Secondly, Executor may be made into a web applet kinda thing. In this case, writing to HDD may be impossible. I know something like this had been achieved in Java (http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-super.html) but wondering if it is possible in Python. Is so, how? Thanks.
