I've modified the remote library so that it takes other libraries as arguments.  When a library is passed to the remote library, it then pushes the library over to the server and dynamically loads it there.  This means that I can use any standard libraries on the remote machine while only having to copy over and run the one robotremoteserver.py file.  I think it simplifies things.

PS. Please please please switch over to git or hg.  I really don't like developing in svn if I can't make commits.

Thanks,

we'll check it out.

Ps. We are going to switch to HG in the future. Meanwhile you can use:
git svn (clone ...) to create a local repository that you can make
commits into.

Very interesting. Could you make the patch available either as an
attachment to the issue or publish it in BitBucket, GitHub, or
somewhere else?

As Kari already commented this will happen soonish. It's easier to do
RF 2.5.x minor releases from Subversion but we'll definitely switch to
Mercurial (the other version control system supported by Google Code)
before we start RF 2.6 work. In the mean time git-svn proposed by Kari
is a good workaround.

Cheers,
