Have a look to http://www.sf.net/projects/pyqnx  
(QNX is a real-time OS which is free for non commercial use ..)

There is a port of Python 2.2 and an extension module (SRR for Python)
for message passing with external QNX processes. These processes can
provide any services ... a send time out can be archived by using a so
called kernel time-out.

We provide also CAN and PROFIBUS DP (fieldbus IO) support with a time
resolution of 1-2ms. (The limiting factor is the speed of Python ..)

Cheers

Armin
