Interesting question. The documentation says:

http://api.zeromq.org/2-1:zmq-ipc

The inter-process transport is currently only implemented on operating 
systems that provide UNIX domain sockets.

(OFF: Would it be possible to add local IPC support for Windows using 
mmap()? I have seen others doing it.)

At least, it is functional on Windows, and it excels on Linux. I just 
need to make transports configureable. Good enough for me.

Yes, although I would really like to do this job in Python. I'm going to 
make some tests with zeromq. If the speed is good for local 
inter-process communication, then I'll give it a try.

Thanks,
