I'm not familiar with Pyro at all, so I'm afraid I can't comment on
that. If it were properly implemented, you ought to be able to cross
language boundaries (I remember java apps could call Distributed Objects
at some point in history), but certain assumptions would have to be true
in the target language. For instance, it would have to implement some
form of true message passing, and not mere polymorphism (i.e. no C++).
