Overview

gipc enables reliable child process management and non-blocking inter-process communication in software that uses gevent.

Using Python's multiprocessing package in the context of a codebase that also uses gevent is error-prone and may break the application in various subtle ways. With gipc, multiprocessing.Process-based child processes can again safely be created in your gevent-powered application. The API of multiprocessing.Process objects is provided in a gevent-cooperative way. Also, gipc provides a pipe-based transport layer for gevent-cooperative inter-greenlet and inter-process communication. gipc is lightweight and easy to integrate.

From 2012 to 2018, gipc's home was at bitbucket.org/jgehrcke/gipc. Since then development has continued on GitHub.

Code examples

Individual example programs can be found in the examples directory.

Documentation

Visit for installation instructions, API docs, code examples, and in-depth information.

Platform support

The current version of gipc works on CPython 3.9 through 3.13. It supports gevent versions 1.5 and newer and supports both, Unix-like systems as well as Windows. On Linux and macOS, gipc also works with PyPy.

gipc's continuous integration (CI) pipeline automatically executes a wide range of tests on Linux, Darwin (macOS), and Windows.
