Hey mail in code is better than no code! Thanks.
I've got another question for you regarding simplejson. Have you
(or anyone you know of) done serialization of python objects using
JSON?
That's more or less what simplejson does by definition... It won't
serialize arbitrary objects out of the box, but it's easily
subclassable in a way that would make it easy to do so
(implementing a "default" method).
I'm thinking about how difficult it would be to do remote objects
over http....
You mean like JSON-RPC?
Yes. Perhaps I should look at pyro and see if it would be possible
to change the serialization and transport mechanisms....
Just wondering. I'm trying to implement rpc mechanisms between
nodes and would prefer to do it over http.... JSON would make some
things easier like adding AJAXy interfaces where needed. But maybe
trying to bolt JSON into an rpc mechanism is overkill...
I certainly wouldn't try to make pyro talk JSON or XML-RPC, but using
xmlrpclib or simplejson would be a fine means for doing RPC with a
JavaScript client.
Personally, I find that more "REST"-ful approaches are a little
easier to deal with going over HTTP.
