I'm currently busy with a new version of Pyro (3.6) and it already
includes a new 'distributed computing' example, where there is
a single dispatcher service and one or more 'worker' clients.
The clients request work 'packets' from the dispatcher and
process them in parallel.
Maybe this is a good starting point of your system?
Current code is available from Pyro's CVS repository.
