Is there an obvious way to do this in python?

You may be right and it might not be worth the trouble  - but what you mention
above is closer to the sort of thing I have in mind - it is essentially using
python to create a script language, and moving scripts around - but hey - python
is already a script language...

so if Pyro is for 'moving the scripts around' - Then that is what I must look at
very hard...
