Notes

  • This is a demo script, meant to show that inter-process communication without using files is curerntly possible.
  • The script runs a local server for communication, so your security software may ask for network access permission (the script itself never accesses the internet).
  • You must have Python 3.7 or higher fully working and available in the system PATH.
  • It doesn't use any external dependencies beyond those included with Python.
  • Doesn't run constantly in background, once is not needed, the server will auto close.
