Thank you for your answer. I am not very interested in importing more dependencies even though I know those projects you mention are great (I really like Erlang..). Anyway you gave me an idea that could solve it. Implement a "messaging system" in web2py by keeping a table with those contents as "flags" that would be cyclically verified by the workers... that could work...
