1# Mount RPC client -- RFC 1094 (NFS), Appendix A
2
3# This module demonstrates how to write your own RPC client in Python.
4# When this example was written, there was no RPC compiler for
5# Python. Without such a compiler, you must first create classes
6# derived from Packer and Unpacker to handle the data types for the
7# server you want to interface to.  You then write the client class.
8# If you want to support both the TCP and the UDP version of a
9# protocol, use multiple inheritance as shown below.
