Python IPC between two processes on different machines

Question

I have two python processes running on two separate machines. These processes need to communicate with each other using some IPC mechanism.

Which is the simplest or the most suitable IPC mechanism in python?

Answer 1

IMO you should have a look at

https://docs.python.org/2/library/xmlrpclib.html#module-xmlrpclib

and

https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplexmlrpcserver.html

I prefer RPC over socket communication.

Answer 2

You can use socket programming for this. Find out more about this at:
