Implementing multiprocessing communication

The multiprocessing module (http://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html) allows two ways of communication among processes, both based on the message passing paradigm. As seen previously, the message passing paradigm is based on the lack of synchronizing mechanisms as copies of data are exchanged among processes.

Using multiprocessing.Pipe

A pipe consists of a mechanism that establishes communication between two endpoints (two processes in communication). It is a way to create a channel so as to exchange messages among processes.

Tip

The official Python documentation recommends the use of a pipe for every two endpoints since there is no guarantee of reading safety by another endpoint simultaneously.

In order to exemplify the use of the multiprocessing.Pipe object, we will implement a Python program that creates two processes, A and B. Process A sends a random integer value in intervals from 1 to 10 to process B, and process B will display it...
