Abstraction gone wrong almost always come down to wanting to abstract for the wrong reasons. RPC was all about pretending from the client side that accessing a remote resource was the same as calling a local method. This was and still is non-sense and a prime example of leaky abstraction.

My understanding of the OP's post is that he is talking about server-side issues rather than client-side though. Others have pointed out that he's talking about the design of a specific python library or framework that I'm not familiar with - I'll need to read up on this first.
