One technology that I used many years ago with Python, and which should
still do the job is CORBA - at that time ILU, but I suppose the various
other ORBs should also be as capable; certainly, ILU permitted
callbacks from the server into the client. These days, you might want
to look at omniORB, Fnorb and ORBit.
