Use a dedicated remote procedure call library. Do not try to invent your 
own. The wheel has already been invented, you are just wasting your time.

I've used both Pyro and Rpyc, either of them seem perfectly reasonable. 
There are many others, but frankly I don't think there is a "best of 
breed" that stands far ahead of the rest.
