The nearest I can think of has nothing to do with Python, but all to
do with the applications concerned: DDE. Back in the early 90s it was
a much-touted technology on OS/2 - you could fire up Mesa
(spreadsheet), hotlink a particular group of cells to a table in
DeScribe, edit one and see the other change instantly. It was pretty
cool for its day.

How you'd go about implementing it today I don't know, but there's a
few options available. Really depends on what the OP actually wants to
achieve: Duplicate typing, shared text, simultaneous editing?
