sashang> but why can't I get the value of i like this? sashang> c.i "RPC" stands for "Remote Procedure Call". You're looking for a remote object access protocol. As Irmen pointed out, Pyro is one such beast, though it is limited to use with Python. If you need something that's more language-independent, you might look at SOAP. Personally, XMLRPC has been sufficient for me for several years. Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
