I would like to develop some module for Python for IPC. Socket programming howto recommends that for local communication, and I personally experienced problems with TCP (see my previous post: "Slow network").

I was looking for semaphores and shared memory, but it is not in the standard lib. I was also thinking about unix domain sockets, but it is not available under windows.

I was looking for non-standard modules as well, but only found a few references with insufficient information. For example:

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/519626/

The question is: what is the standard way to implement fast and portable IPC with Python? Are there tools in the standard lib that can do this?


Thanks,

  Laszlo
