How to implement interaction between multiple separate processes in a system?

Answer from AI
To facilitate interaction between multiple separate processes in Python, inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms can be used, such as:
- Queues from the multiprocessing module — allow safe data exchange between processes.
- Pipes — a bidirectional channel for data transfer.
- Shared Memory — for joint access to data.
- Sockets — for data exchange over a network or locally.
Example of using a queue:
from multiprocessing import Process, Queue
def worker(q):
q.put('Data from process')
if __name__ == '__main__':
q = Queue()
p = Process(target=worker, args=(q,))
p.start()
print(q.get()) # Receive data from another process
p.join()
Thus, processes can exchange messages and synchronize their work.
