-This is a Python interface to Sun RPC, designed and implemented mostly
-by reading the Internet RFCs about the subject.
-
-*** NOTE: xdr.py has evolved into the standard module xdrlib.py ***
-
-There are two library modules, xdr.py and rpc.py, and several example
-clients: mountclient.py, nfsclient.py, and rnusersclient.py,
-implementing the NFS Mount protocol, (part of) the NFS protocol, and
-the "rnusers" protocol (used by rusers(1)), respectively. The latter
-demonstrates the use of broadcast via the Port mapper's CALLIT
-procedure.
-
-There is also a way to create servers in Python.
-
-To test the nfs client, run it from the shell with something like this:
-
- python -c 'import nfsclient; nfsclient.test()' [hostname [filesystemname]]
-
-When called without a filesystemname, it lists the filesystems at the
-host; default host is the local machine.
-
-Other clients are tested similarly.
-
-For hostname, use e.g. wuarchive.wustl.edu or gatekeeper.dec.com (two
-hosts that are known to export NFS filesystems with little restrictions).
-
-There are now two different RPC compilers:
-
-1) Wim Lewis rpcgen.py found on http://www.omnigroup.com/~wiml/soft/stale-index.html#python.
-
-2) Peter Åstrands rpcgen.py, which is part of "pynfs" (http://www.cendio.se/~peter/pynfs/).
