interprocess communication (shared memory...) for Python

 This package allows one to access the System V Interprocess
 communication mechanisms from within Python:
   + message queues;
   + semaphore sets;
   + shared memory segments.
 .
 This plug-in serves primarily two use cases:
   + parallel (multiprocess) computing;
   + mixed applications (e.g. python/yorick).
 .
 A sibling package is available for Yorick: yorick-svipc
