I am looking for a way of performing inter process communication over
XML between a python program and something else creating XML data.
What is the best way of performing this communication? I could bind a
socket to localhost and perform the data transfer that way, but that
seems inefficient due to the addition of TCP/IP or UDP/IP overhead.
Is there a way to stream data via a custom datastream (I.E. not STDIO,
STDERR, etc)?
Thanks in advance,

In *nix, you could also use a named pipe for cheap RPC (os.mkfifo()).

Nothing that portable across different platforms, I suspect.
However I see no reason why you can't use pipelines in Unix (in other
words what's wrong with using stdin/stdout?), and Windows offers
something called a named pipe. You could even use shared memory if you
wanted.
Given the radically inefficient representations that XML typically
requires, however, I think that worrying about localhost socket overhead
is unnecessary: if your application was *that* critical you wouldn't be
using XML in the first place.

Steve

You could use a named pipe or a Unix domain socket. The nice
thing about an IP socket is that you get network transparancy:
the two programs can be moved to two different machines.

Thanks for the updates. I think I will try named processes first, but
may just end up using local sockets in the end and not worry about the
overhead.

Just try it out:
In [8]: import xmlrpclib
In [9]: a = xmlrpclib.dumps (('hello world',))
In [10]: len(a)
Out[10]: 80
In [11]: print a
<params>
<param>
<value><string> hello world</string></value>
</param>
</params>
Even with some additional boilerplate like XML declaration etc. there is
still a little bit room until 10Â*kB are reached. :-)

Hello all,
I am a small application that I am developing which will use a few
threads. When the user closes the form the threads will remain present
until I close them. The Main Form instantiates a couple of
communications classes which contain the threads. So for this
communications class should I provide some sort of close/kill/terminate
method or should I provide a dispose() function to terminate the
threads? Thanks for any insight.

This is my first post so apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup.
I'm designing software for a platform that will sit on a CAN bus. There
will be three separate programs running on the platform, A, B and C.
Program A will handle the CAN communications. It will pass messages
received from the CAN network to programs B and C and transmit their
messages out on the CAN network.

Here's the current scenario: I have a program in Python that computes

The client-side of this program is a function in PostgreSQL. For the
