Well, the reason I'm at work at 8am is because I ahd the same idea when I woke
up this morning ;-)

However, I've been bogged down in CORBA before and the reason I'm excited is I
thought of a simple(ish, I'm sure there will be gotchas...) way to do Python
RPC.

That said, has anyone done Python RPC before? If so, where should I look?

On a related note, where should I be looking for examples of how to add another
'server' to Zope? Or would it be better to keep a Python RPC server seperate
from Zope and just have _it_ open up a ZEO connection to Zope?

cheers,
