But I do: the CherryPy "application", which has multiple threads - one per request (and perhaps a few more) to be exact. It's these request threads that generate the calls to the child process.

No luck: "RuntimeError: Queue objects should only be shared between processes through inheritance"

This IS a master process, with multiple threads, trying to communicate with a child process. That said, with some modifications this sort of approach could still work.
