Re: about daemons and IPC

For the first time I'm doing a client/server application, and I'm
really confused with IPC stuff.

Client-server applications are traditionally done with sockets.

I read the fastest method is shared memory, but I tryed mmap and found
it tedious for the amount of data I'm handling (which is 30K at most,
but mmap seems to get tedious for anything bigger than a boolean... am
I missing something?)

Mmap is missing any kind of locks, semaphores, etc. There was an shm
module that included this stuff but I don't know what's happened to it.
It's really unfortunate that it was never included with Python.
