A more lightweight solution might be Ice. <http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html> It is architecturally similar to Corba, but with less overhead. And supports different programming languages and platforms. But if your application is to be distributed on a non-GPL license you have to pay. That said, I think there is nothing wrong with using Corba for this kind of thing. It has an additional advantage that it is a widely accepted standard. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
