Thank you for advise. But I can't connect to memory. In shm python
(http://sirac.inrialpes.fr/~marangoz/python/shm/) module more simply. Just
define a key and other application (for example other session of python) can
read or send data. But I don't know which arguments I must set for
adap.Connect function.
The adap interface like on TCP/IP protocol. IMHO IPC can work only on the
same computer, but adap.Connect have a host, port arguments...Why?

Thank you,
Alexei.
