 COMPAS runs in many different environments, but in some environments the availablity of libraries is limited.
 For example, when running COMPAS in an IronPython-based environment like Rhino/Grasshopper,
 plenty of CPython libraries such as `numpy` and `scipy` are not available.
-To workaround this limitation, COMPAS provides a mechanisms to access the functionality of a CPython environment seemlessly from any other Python environment through a "Remote Procedure Call" or RPC.

 Through RPC, COMPAS can be used as a server for remote clients, and as a client for remote servers.
-A typical use case is to run algorithms that require packages like ``numpy`` or ``scipy`` on a remote server, when working in Rhino.
