Python Multiprocessing With ØMQ

As I was going over the various python code examples at github, I became interested in the taskvent / tasksink / taskwork examples. The pattern was recognizable as one I often use for distributed processing. In the past, I typically would have implemented such a work flow using the python multiprocessing library, using it’s Queue class to communicate between processes. Recently I’ve implemented several data processing pipelines for work using the same technique, but using zeromq channels for communication, and I’ve been extremely pleased with both the performance, and the ease of use.
