Message Queue based Interprocess Communication (IPC) between Python and C. There are sender and receiver code for each language.
The senders will send:
- string
- two doubles
- one array (or numpy)
- one double and one array (or numpy)
And the receivers receive the byte formatted data and unpack.
- Python >= 3.6
- sysv_ipc (python package) - Only supports Unix (Linux and MacOS), not Windows.
- numpy (python package)
For Python 2 support, see the older version: v0.1
Build C programs
make
Run receiver. For example, C receiver:
./receiver
In a different terminal, execute sender. For example, Python sender with String, double (float64), numpy formats.
./sender.py
Watch what happens on the receiver!
$ python3 sender.py
string sent: sample string
two doubles sent: 1234.56789, 9876.12345
numpy array sent: [[ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
[ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15]]
one double and numpy array sent: 1234.56789, [[0 1 2 3]
[4 5 6 7]]$ ./receiver
