Please do not Top post :)

xmlrpclib and Pyro are for example 2 modules that could have taken care 
of your netcode. In your case, Pyro could be perfect for you since it 
has no constraint (basically the  xmlrpc protocol).

Quoting Pyro's home page:

"Never worry about writing network communication code again, when using 
Pyro you just write your Python objects like you would normally. With 
only a few lines of extra code, Pyro takes care of the network 
communication between your objects once you split them over different 
machines on the network. All the gory socket programming details are 
taken care of, you just call a method on a remote object as if it were a 
local object!".

See the examples to get  better idea of remote calls with pyro.
