'''
A utility for creating "remote applications" which are dcode
enabled and cobra driven.  All API arguments/returns *must* be
serializable using msgpack.

NOTE: enabling a dcode server means source for local python modules
      will be delivered directly to clients over the network!

Running a remote application will also attempt to prefer code from
the server rather than the local python current working directory.
( and uses multiprocessing for import/process isolation )
