RPyC_ (pronounced like *are-pie-see*), or *Remote Python Call*, is a
**transparent** library for **symmetrical** `remote procedure calls`_,
clustering_, and distributed-computing_.  RPyC makes use of object-proxying_,
a technique that employs python's dynamic nature, to overcome the physical
boundaries between processes and computers, so that remote objects can be
manipulated as if they were local.
