Hi!
I've added some experimental multicore work in Kamaelia's /Sketches area
today. It allows you to take the following code:
Pipeline(
Textbox(position=(20, 340),
text_height=36,
screen_width=900,
screen_height=400,
background_color=(130,0,70),
text_color=(255,255,255)),
TextDisplayer(position=(20, 90),
text_height=36,
screen_width=400,
screen_height=540,
background_color=(130,0,70),
text_color=(255,255,255))
)
... and make it run multicore as follows:
ProcessPipeline(
Textbox(position=(20, 340),
text_height=36,
screen_width=900,
screen_height=400,
background_color=(130,0,70),
text_color=(255,255,255)),
TextDisplayer(position=(20, 90),
text_height=36,
screen_width=400,
screen_height=540,
background_color=(130,0,70),
text_color=(255,255,255))
)
The "proof" that this works multicore is the fact these are both pygame
components and hence would not open two windows unless it was
multi-process. I've written up more about this here:

To work this uses Paul Boddie's pprocess module, LikeFile written by a GSOC
student last year, and the components above were also from GSOC.
Code in subversion is here for the curious:
https://kamaelia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kamaelia/trunk/Sketches/MPS/pprocess/MultiPipeline.py
This wouldn't've been as easy to write without using Paul's really nice code,
so I'll just embarass him and say thank you for that here :-)
