My little rant on Python

Today I thought to myself, why not try to play around with SysV shared memory and semaphore under Python. Then, to my surprise, this time the battery is not included. Yes, there is no module that come with standard Python which offer this facility. After painstakingly Google around, I found 2 modules which provide a mechanism to this IPC - but I'm not too convinced with these 2 modules. I guess I need to dig into the C codes of these external modules to boost my confidence level. Till then, I'd stick to Unix domain socket and pipe for my IPC under Python.
