Newbie Question (real-time communication between apps: audio, 3d, PD, Blender)
Hi All, I'm just beginning my exploration of Python and I have a rather general question.

Two Python interpreters *can* communicate; there are all sorts of possibilities, depending on what one intends by real-tine. I agree, of course, that Python doesn't build in an explicit Python-specific IPC. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
