That's a fairly broad thing to say. I've read lots
of things. What does "is not safe" mean, in any case?
I assume you've got a valid concern in mind which is
worth passing on to a would-be user, but what exactly
is it? FWIW I've used Pyro on and off over the years
without any problems. Certainly my computer's never
blown up as a result of using it.
From its own page:
"Pyro has never been truly designed to provide a secure communication
mechanism, nor has it had a security review or -test by a security
expert."
http://pyro.sourceforge.net/features.html
For communication between processes on one machine, that hardly seems to
be a worry. If it were, I would expect that sending encrypted strings
would substantially improve things.
That aside, I would wonder whether you could use a master process with a
gui to haphazardly launch subprocess, so as to avail oneself of
multiprocessing.Queue.
