As Harald mentioned, Pyro is firmly in the "Remote Method Invocation"
space. And there's always CORBA, of which there are multiple python and
java implementations. Which might be useful, if you wanted to have a
mixed language implementation.

Another technology that could be very useful for you is Spread, for
which both python and java libraries exist.

So, do you want to

A: Build your own "pseudo-clustering" implementation?

B: Use one that's already been written?

If the answer is the latter, I recommend you take a look at PyLinda.
