Everything is a distributed object

Hello all,

I've seen various attempts to add distributed computing capabilities on top
of an existing language. For a true distributed system I would expect it to
be possible to instantiate objects of a remote class or to subclass a
remote class and other stuff like this. My impression is that those things
are difficult when built on top of an existing language.

Since the paradigm "everything is an object" pays so well, I thought it
might be less painful to implement a distributed system from ground up,
starting with the paradigm: "everything is a distributed object".

Do you know if such a thing has been attempted with python, i.e. by hacking
the python core and add new capabilities to "object". Or do you think that
this is really a silly idea ?
