Hi everyone! Here's the current scenario: I have a program in Python that computes something very fast (<1s), but it takes a considerable amount of time to read the startup data (>90s). Since the startup data is pretty static, I want this program to be resident and ready in memory all the time.
The client-side of this program is a function in PostgreSQL. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume it is another program in Python that will be asking the resident one for results on-demand. Let's also assume that there will be dozens of concurrent requests. My problem is: what is the fastest, easiest way to accomplish this inter-process communication? The data between them will be very small: 1Kb max per request. I've thought about SOAP, sockets and named pipes... But since I have no experience on any of them using Python, I can't decide which way is better... Just a few considerations: Python version is 2.4. PostgreSQL version is 8.2RC1, OS version is Windows Server 2003. Thanks in advance, Hugo Ferreira -- GPG Fingerprint: B0D7 1249 447D F5BB 22C5 5B9B 078C 2615 504B 7B85 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
