Best Middle Tier Architechure?

[Butternut Squash]

What do you guys recommend for doing middle tier in python.
I want to hide the database from the application and have it just use
business logic.

right now we are using c# and .net remoting in a way that just is not
efficient.

I want to rewrite a lot of what we do in python. I have seen XML-RPC and
soap. Are there other options?

Just curious for some opinions.

Thanks.

It surely depends on what's going to be on the other sides. If
everything is Python, you may use Twisted.Spread. If you have to
communicate with different languages and plataforms, maybe CORBA
helps. Well, I'm sure a lot of people know more options than I do
here.

I have to support multiple applications using different schema and
databases. Would like to present as much as a unified interface as
possible.

I'd recomend CORBA as it supports multiple platforms and languages.
SOAP and XML-RPC can be used as well, but I'm afraid performance can
be a problem if a lot of calls are made or big/complex objects are
transfered.
