hi irmen... happened to come across this post. haven't looked at pyro. regarding your 'work packets' could these essentially be 'programs/apps' that that are requested by the client apps, and are then granted by the dispatch/server app?
i'm considering condor (univ of wisconsin) but am curious as to if pyro might also work. i'm looking to create a small distributed crawling app for crawling/scraping of targeted websites.... thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Irmen de Jong Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 10:05 AM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: client/server design and advice TonyM wrote: > Lastly, as far as the networking goes, i have seen posts and such about > something called Pyro (http://pyro.sourceforge.net) and wondered if > that was worth looking into for the client/server interaction. I'm currently busy with a new version of Pyro (3.6) and it already includes a new 'distributed computing' example, where there is a single dispatcher service and one or more 'worker' clients. The clients request work 'packets' from the dispatcher and process them in parallel. Maybe this is a good starting point of your system? Current code is available from Pyro's CVS repository. --Irmen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
