There are several ways of performing IPC (Inter-Process Communication),
and most are accessible through one module or another in Python. These
are a few which might be useful:
socket - Low-level networking interface
signal - Set handlers for asynchronous events
mmap   - Memory-mapped file support
popen2 - Subprocesses with accessible I/O streams
thread - Multiple threads of control
threading - Higher-level threading interface
pipes  - Interface to shell pipelines
select - Waiting for I/O completion
commands - Utilities for running commands
