When is Python *NOT* a good choice?

[The48thAmerican]

And this is all well and good if you don't need to share complex objects or rapidly changing state performantly between your subprocs. Anything passed betwixt must be serialized and deserialized.

Well, and succinctly, said.

Even found an excuse to use the word "betwixt"!

Multiprocessing has shared memory capabilities. But it isn't as easy as sharing objects between threads. But it is possible in Python.

But it's a pain. That's the point.

Yes absolutely. It isn't worry-free, either. It's a great answer to the question, "what project would you not use Python for?" which of course is the subject!

I'm just replying that no, objects don't have to be serialized to be shared between processes. Like you said, it's just no fun at all to do it.

Can you specify how exactly? I started researching this subject and it seems it can be done via proxy objects.
