What is the current choice for doing RPC in Python? [closed]

Question

XML-RPC is part of the Python standard library:

• Python 2: xmlrpclib and SimpleXMLRPCServer
• Python 3: xmlrpc (both client and server)

Apache Thrift is a cross-language RPC option developed at Facebook. Works over sockets, function signatures are defined in text files in a language-independent way.

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.

There are some attempts at making SOAP work with python, but I haven't tested it much so I can't say if it is good or not.

SOAPy is one example.
