What is the current choice for doing RPC in Python?

Question

Actually, I've done some work with Pyro and RPyC, but there is more RPC implementation than these two. Can we make a list of them?

Native Python-based protocols:

RPC frameworks with a lot of underlying protocols:

Spyne (see lightning talk)

JSON-RPC based frameworks:

SOAP:

XML-RPC based frameworks:

XMLRPC, using the xmlrpclib and SimpleXMLRPCServer modules in the standard library.

Others:

Since I've asked this question, I've started using python-symmetric-jsonrpc. It is quite good, can be used between python and non-python software and follow the JSON-RPC standard. But it lacks some examples.

You could try Ladon. It serves up multiple web server protocols at once so you can offer more flexibility at the client side.

maybe ZSI which implements SOAP. I used the stub generator and It worked properly. The only problem I encountered is about doing SOAP throught HTTPS.
