- Built-in unidirectional rsync-alike, compared to Mitogen's SSH emulation which allows use of real rsync in any supported mode
- no support for sudo, but supports connecting to vagrant
- works with read-only filesystem
- includes its own serialization independent of the standard library, Mitogen uses cPickle.
- includes its own serialization_ independent of the standard library
The obj and all contained objects must be of a builtin python type
(so nested dicts, sets, etc. are all ok but not user-level instances).
- Known uses include `pytest-xdist`_, and `Distributed NLTK`_
You should use Execnet if you value code maturity more than featureset.
