|Version| |Python| |Tests| |License|
RPyC_ (pronounced like are-pie-see), or Remote Python Call, is a
transparent library for symmetrical remote procedure calls
,
clustering, and distributed-computing_. RPyC makes use of object-proxying_,
a technique that employs python's dynamic nature, to overcome the physical
boundaries between processes and computers, so that remote objects can be
manipulated as if they were local.
