It is possible to do this with Pyro. I think Pyro can "auto-background" (my terminology not theirs) if you allow it to do threading. Otherwise, you could handle requests by 1) putting Pyro in a thread you manage or 2) a GUI timer calling Pyro's daemon.handleRequests(...) fairly often. But I hear nothing but good things about Twisted, and your code works, so I say find some bigger fish to fry (especially since I can see potential issues with each of the above options...). _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
