Actually, I've done some work with Pyro and RPyC, but there is more RPC implementation than these two. Can we make a list of them?
Native Python-based protocols:
RPC frameworks with a lot of underlying protocols:
JSON-RPC based frameworks:
SOAP:
XML-RPC based frameworks:
Others:
You could try Ladon. It serves up multiple web server protocols at once so you can offer more flexibility at the client side.
You missed out omniORB. This is a pretty full CORBA implementation, so you can also use it to talk to other languages that have CORBA support.
maybe ZSI which implements SOAP. I used the stub generator and It worked properly. The only problem I encountered is about doing SOAP throught HTTPS.
We are developing Versile Python (VPy), an implementation for python 2.6+ and 3.x of a new ORB/RPC framework. Functional AGPL dev releases for review and testing are available. VPy has native python capabilities similar to PyRo and RPyC via a general native objects layer (code example). The product is designed for platform-independent remote object interaction for implementations of Versile Platform.
Full disclosure: I work for the company developing VPy.
There are some attempts at making SOAP work with python, but I haven't tested it much so I can't say if it is good or not.
SOAPy is one example.
Apache Thrift is a cross-language RPC option developed at Facebook. Works over sockets, function signatures are defined in text files in a language-independent way.
Since I've asked this question, I've started using python-symmetric-jsonrpc. It is quite good, can be used between python and non-python software and follow the JSON-RPC standard. But it lacks some examples.
