Were I in your place, I'd do one of two things: * Look at a message broker like ActiveMQ (http://activemq.apache.org/) and run the sender process(es) as consumers on the queue. * Use a multi-process-safe queue and do the sending in-process. zc.queue (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.queue) would probably be best for this.
