17. Interprocess Communication and Networking
The modules described in this chapter provide mechanisms for different
processes to communicate.
Some modules only work for two processes that are on the same machine,
e.g. signal and subprocess. Other modules support
networking protocols that two or more processes can used to
communicate across machines.
The list of modules described in this chapter is:
| subprocess |
|
Subprocess management. |
| socket |
|
Low-level networking interface. |
| signal |
|
Set handlers for asynchronous events. |
| popen2 |
|
Subprocesses with accessible standard I/O streams. |
| asyncore |
|
A base class for developing asynchronous socket
handling services. |
| asynchat |
|
Support for asynchronous command/response protocols. |
Release 2.5.2, documentation updated on 21th February, 2008.
