I was wondering what are the differences between queues and pipes implemented
using multiprocessing python module. Am I correct if I say, in pipes, if
another process writes to one receiving end concurrently, then an error will be
raised and in queues the later processes data will just queued up?
basically a Queue is a syncronization primitive used to
share and pass data to and from parent/child processes.
A pipe is as the name suggests, a socket pair connected
end-to-end allowing for full-duplex communications.
Isn't a pipe's communications one-way, requiring two of them to achieve
full-duplex?
