thanks for all of the help. My initial solution is to pickle my object, with the text-based version of pickle, and send it across rpc. I do this because the actual thing I am sending is a dictionary, with lots of arrays, and other things. I'll have a look at the format that Robert sent, because that looks useful for other things I am doing.
Did you try to send binary pickles (protocol=2)? Perhaps it works, give a try! Of course, you need the client and server machines having the same arch.
I tried that first, and marshal doesn't handle binary streams, so that's when I tried the text version. I'm not sending a lot of info, so it's not that big of a deal. Most of the time is spent on the simulation on the other end. bb -- Brian Blais bblais@bryant.edu http://web.bryant.edu/~bblais
