It actually is the default in Pyro :-)

You're creating Pyro server object instances. Every object instance can
be referred to by a unique logical name. If your Pyro client connects to the
logical name, it will remotely access the same object instance that all
other clients that requested that object by that name also do.

So, the object's state is always shared in Pyro. This means that your
object's implementation must be able to deal with concurrent /
multithreaded invocations (although Pyro can help you a bit with this).
