"RPC" stands for "Remote Procedure Call".  You're looking for a remote
object access protocol.  As Irmen pointed out, Pyro is one such beast,
though it is limited to use with Python.  If you need something that's more
language-independent, you might look at SOAP.  Personally, XMLRPC has been
sufficient for me for several years.
