What is the current choice for doing RPC in Python?

Question

Actually, I've done some work with Pyro and RPyC, but there is more RPC implementation than these two. Can we make a list of them?

Native Python-based protocols:

• PyRo (Python Remote Objects)
• RPyC (Remote Python Call)
• Circuits

JSON-RPC based frameworks:

• python-symmetric-jsonrpc
• rpcbd

XML-RPC based frameworks:

• XMLRPC, using the xmlrpclib and SimpleXMLRPCServer modules in the standard library.

Others?

• Twisted Spread

Answer 1

• XMLRPC, using the xmlrpclib and SimpleXMLRPCServer modules in the standard library.

Answer 2

There are some attempts at making SOAP work with python, but I haven't tested it much so I can't say if it is good or not.

SOAPy is one example.

Answer 3

maybe ZSI which implements SOAP. I used the stub generator and It worked properly. The only problem I encountered is about doing SOAP throught HTTPS.

Answer 4

Since I've asked this question, I've started using python-symmetric-jsonrpc. It is quite good, can be used between python and non-python software and follow the JSON-RPC standard. But it lack some examples.

Edit : Another interesting jsonrpc framework is rpcbd
