It is very easy to use this infrastructure in Python (for example, native
Python lists are used to compose messages) and it also supports other
languages (C, C++ and Tcl).

Take a look at the Event Service -- it allows to distribute messages accross
many services in the subscription model. Other models (including load
balancing over many servers) are easy to implement with the use of messag
forwarding.
Do not hesitate to contact me in case of any further questions.
