Hi,
I have just released Pyro4 version 4.49; https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pyro4
(super short description: it is a library that allows you to transparently call
methods
on objects that are running on other machines, as if they were local)
Pyro now also supports remote iterators. This means you can loop over a remote
iterator
(or generator) that is running on another machine, and get the items on demand
as they
are consumed by your client code.
Server:
class RemoteObject:
@Pyro4.expose
def numbers(self):
i = 0
while i<10:
yield i
i += 1
Client:
r = Pyro4.Proxy(".....")
for number in r.numbers():
print(number)
When used correctly this feature can avoid having to build large data
structures and
returning those all at once from a remote call. Instead, you now can return them
piecemeal and only that which is actually used by the client.
The feature is also supported by the Pyrolite client library for Java and
.NET/C#.
I think it is pretty nifty and interesting enough to post about it here :)

Irmen de Jong
