Pyro is definitely of no use to the original poster. He specifically
wants to access his Python server from languages other than Python.

To me, the situation sounds complex enough, especially with the need
for callbacks, that CORBA is an ideal solution. At the expense of a
small amount of boilerplate code, all the communication issues are
handled for you. In this day and age, why would you want to write code
that deals with sockets apart from the most specialist situations?

Cheers,

Duncan.
