Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is
designed to be very easy to use. 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!
Pyro provides an object-oriented form of RPC. You can use Pyro within a
single system but also use it for IPC. For those that are familiar with
Java, Pyro resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It is less
similar to CORBA - which is a system- and language independent
Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or
RMI. But Pyro is small, simple and free!

implementation tries to be as compliant to the JSON specification (RFC
4627) as possible, while still providing many optional extensions to
allow less restrictive JavaScript syntax. It includes complete Unicode
support, including UTF-32, BOM, and surrogate pair processing. It can
also support JavaScript's NaN and Infinity numeric types as well as
it's 'undefined' type. It also includes a lint-like JSON syntax
validator which tests JSON text for strict compliance to the standard.

development and has changed the mental model used at Enthought for
programming in the already extremely efficient Python programming
language.
The Traits project allows Python programmers to use a special kind
of type definition called a trait, which gives object attributes
some additional characteristics, such as Initialization, Validation,
Delegation, Notification and Visualization.
A class can freely mix trait-based attributes with normal Python
attributes, or can opt to allow the use of only a fixed or open set
of trait attributes within the class. Trait attributes defined by
a classs are automatically inherited by any subclass derived from
the class.

This module tries to find middle ground between one at a time and all at
once processing of data sets.
The purpose of this module is to avoid the overhead of implementing an
iterative api when this isn't necessary, without breaking forward
compatibility in case that becomes necessary later on.
The API optimizes for when a data set typically fits in memory and is
returned as an array, but the consumer cannot assume that the data set is
bounded.
The API is destructive in order to minimize the chance that resultsets are
leaked due to improper usage.

automatic persistence and versioning by recording messages sent to objects. It
offers a flexible versioning scheme where both individual objects and their
entire object graph can be versioned separately. The built-in object model is a
generalization of the property model used by the AddressBook framework. Foreign
model objects can be also integrated by wrapping them with a special proxy.
CoreObject uses the EtoileSerialize framework which, in many cases, allows
objects and messages to be automatically serialized with no extra code being
