Hello, I'm getting my feet wet in Python and thought I'd try to see how well Python works for asynchronous messaging. I've been using asynchronous messaging for 5 years and find it advantageous for many things. In the scheme I use communication is not only asynchronous but it is also non- blocking and inherently serialized via a queue.
This provides two benefits, a sender is never directly effected by the receiver and since the receiver handles only one message at a time it generally never has to use mutexes or semaphores. This allows for the programmer to use multiple threads without having to contend with the associated issues mutexes have in the area of deadly embraces or race conditions. Anyway, below is a link to the first pass at an implementation in Python, comments are welcome: http://www.saville.com/python/mproc.tgz Regards, Wink Saville -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
