if the RPC you're talking about is Sun RPC, the whole concept is pretty
dated (the original RFCs are from the late eighties).

it's in the source distribution, which is browsable via svn.python.org:

    http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Demo/rpc

if you have a subversion client, you can get a local copy with

    svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Demo/rpc

otherwise, you can grab the entire source archive from:

    http://python.org/download/

hope this helps!
