Work between multiple processes

[zxpatric at gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I ran into a case that I need to create a work process of an application (Jython so has to call using java.exe) which will collect the data based on what main process indicates. 

(1) I tried multiprocessing package, no luck. Java.exe can't be called from Process class?

(2) I tried subprocess. subprocess.communicate function will wait for the work process to terminate so to return.

 
either (1) or (2) doesn't work out well. Please suggest.  Global system queue?

Thanks,
Patrick.
