Are you writing on a Unix-based system? Then you can use Python (I assume)
to open a fifo; pass the name to the IDL routine, and have IDL open it as a
simple file using openu (open for update). I've found this a really
efficient way to have IDL processes communicate on a multi-processor system,
since the Linux OS handles all the communications issues; and our efficiency
scaled nicely with the number of processors. If you want to be more general,
you could probably go to using sockets at both levels (I think the socket
protocol is also available in windoze. I tried the pipe operations available
on W2K, all I can say is that it was up to the usual MS standards).
