Yes, I think that is correct. Instead of detaching a child process, you 
can create independent processes and use other frameworks for IPC. For 
example, Pyro.  It is not as effective as multiprocessing.Queue, but in 
return, you will have the option to run your service across multiple 
servers.

The most effective IPC is usually through shared memory. But there is no 
OS independent standard Python module that can communicate over shared 
memory. Except multiprocessing of course, but AFAIK it can only be used 
to communicate between fork()-ed processes.
