what's RPyC: Remote Python Call (RPyC) is a python library that provides transparent and symmetrical distributed computing and remote procedure calls. site: http://rpyc.sourceforge.net what's new: this is a maintenance version of RPyC (Remote Python Call). * cleanups * fixed a bug with PipeStream.write * added stubs for Stream.wait and Stream.is_available to the windows version, so PipeConnection now works on windows as well. * added optional authentication: auth_server.py, and a new factory - AuthSocketConnection. see demo below. why add authentication? many people wanted to run rpyc over the internet, but it's a huge security risk. now the connection itself is not encrypted, but the server will require a login before it creates the connection. you are still encouraged to use SSL/VPNs where available, as it's surely more secure. also, please report security risks with my algo if you find any. demo: # run auth_server.py, then do from Rpyc import AuthSocketConnection conn = AuthSocketConnection("yossarian", "catch22", "localhost") # from this point it's the same -tomer
