Another example from the Java world is the Voyager tool.
(http://www.objectspace.com/) You might be able to get some ideas from them.
It's pretty awsome...  It does CORBA/RMI/DCOM without having to work from
stubs and skeletons, it can remotely activate objects, dyamically retrieve
interfaces and build proxy objects, do mobile agents, and much more.  If
this could all be done in CPython it would truly be a dream come true.
