How about an Mnesia-like database for Python? (Mnesia is an embedded database for Erlang programs.) I see in the PyLinda page that * 13/1/05 - Version 0.4 * Removed SysV shared memory and made Unix Domain Sockets the default as they are quicker. That sounds to me like the shared memory version was broken somehow. I don't see how a socket-based approach needing context switches could be faster than a zero-copy, all-userspace approach. FWIW, I remember seeing a web page about someone else implementing tuplespace in Python for his home Beowulf cluster, but although it was written as a C extension, it didn't seem all that serious.
