migrating processess to avoid the GIL

[Patrick Stinson]

I need to migrate calls to CPython to another process in my C++ app to
get around the GIL. Does anyone know of a good way to do this on
windows and Mac? All calls and callbacks can be blocking, I just need
to share some data structures.

Cheers

You should look into 'mmap' and 'struct'. mmap shares memory between
processes, and is a random-access read-write file buffer. struct
packs data from primitive types (integers, floats, & short strings)
into a buffer.

If you need advice on structuring your shared file, feel free to write
back.
