POSIX IPC primitives (semaphores and shared memory) for Python
Project description
Permits creation and manipulation of classic IPC (inter-process communication) objects on platforms supporting the POSIX Realtime Extensions a.k.a. POSIX 1003.1b-1993. This includes most Unices but not Windows. Sample code is included.
Currently, this module only supports semaphores and shared memory. Support for message queues is planned for a future version.
