I'm glad to announce the latest version of Pyro, 2.8! You can get it via http://pyro.sourceforge.net, then go to the project homepage. This is mostly a bugfix release. This likely is the last Pyro release in the 2.x version series. The next release, 3.0, will have some major changes and improvements. Changes since 2.7 include: More complete docs, better example chapter in docs, fixed ^C handling of chatbox examples, fixed protocol bug when both checksum and compression were used, setup script should work again with Win98, old bug in PyroC generated proxy code fixed. What is Pyro? Pyro is an acronym for PYthon Remote Objects. It is a basic Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python. It is extremely easy to implement a distributed system with Pyro, because all network communication code is abstracted and hidden from your application. You just get a remote Python object and invoke methods on the object on the other machine. Pyro offers you a Name Server, an Event Service, mobile objects, remote exceptions, dynamic proxies, remote attribute access, automatic reconnection, a detailed manual, and many examples to get you started right away.
