Perhaps remote objects are a bit overkill for your specific problem.
But then again, Pyro for instance (pyro.sf.net) essentially removes
the need for any network code in your app, and takes care of various
other nasty things that happen at the network level.
So unless you choose to use Pyro or some other high level API,
you will have to deal with all this yourself-- and that may be
more work than you think...
