NodeJS IPC which spec ? Alternative for Python to do a process.send() ?

[Alexandre Strzelewicz]

Hello,

I'm spawning a Python script in NodeJS via .spawn() and I would like to know if there is an alternative to do a `process.send()` with Python ?

What is the spec of the NodeJS IPC ? System V IPC vs POSIX IPC ?

Thanks,

all you get is unix domain sockets wrapped in streams: http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_stdin

you can use dnode with them to establisch a RPC between them. there is a dnode implementation for Python https://github.com/jesusabdullah/dnode-python

Thanks for this information, do you know where these socket files are stored ?

If I see that its complicated to implement I will go to another alternative

OK ! When opening an IPC channel, it's finally only about writing on the right filedescriptor :
