[Simon Wittber] | I write cross platform games in Python, and I'd really like to be able | to use this second core (on my machine, and on user's | machines) for any new games I might write.
| I know threads won't help (in CPython at least) so I'm investigating | other types of concurrency which I might be able to use. I really like | the PyLinda approach I find it very elegant. I only wish I had some real-world use for it! | Is there any cross platform way to share python objects across | processes? (I've found POSH, but it's old, and doesn't appear to be | maintained). I could implement my own object space using | shared memory, but from what I can see, this is not available on Win32. There is a bunch of Python sub-industries dedicated to inter-process cooperation. But I don't know if that's what you're after. Setting aside the strict shared-memory option (for which I don't know of a cross-platform solution), you have -- in particular order: + Pyro - http://pyro.sf.net + Corba - eg omniorb http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/ + SPyRO - http://lsc.fie.umich.mx/~sadit/spyro/spyro.html + mmap - (built-in module) http://docs.python.org/lib/module-mmap.html + twisted - (because it can do everything), esp. http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/spread + Spread - http://www.spread.org/ + Roll-your-own sockets - http://docs.python.org/lib/module-SocketServer.html etc. etc. etc. But I have the feeling I'm teaching my grandmother... Is that the kind of thing you were after? Or not? TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
