Just that posts to newsgroups like c.l.py are examples of your written

Being a non-professional programmer, I've managed to use Pyro to do
what I need to do with very minimal fuss. In fact, I don't even
understand a lot of what's under the cover. All I did was to mimic
what one of the sample program is doing and adapted it to my need.
So far I am very happy with Py

Irmen,
Thanks, you're very good about answering Pyro related questions!
Thanks again. I posted a more detailed question to the mailing list
describing as best I could how I want to use Pyro and the questions I

Hi all,
At work I'm considering proposing a solution for our distributed
processing system (a web based shopping cart that feeds an actual
printing production line) based on Pyro. I've done some minor
