There would be no IPC as they would live in the same process. A thread- safe queue would suffice. Python objects would have to be serialized before placed in the queue. One could also allow NumPy-like arrays in two separate interpreters to share the same memory buffer. With an emulated fork() the whole interpreter would be cloned, possibly deferred in a 'copy on write' scheme. Multiple processes and IPC is what we have today with e.g. mpi4py. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
