Description

System V semaphores, shared memory, and message queues can be used from Python programs. It is useful for legacy Unix integration, local process coordination, and applications that need low-level IPC primitives.

IPC code can leak resources or expose shared data between processes if permissions are wrong. Developers should clean up objects and choose keys and access modes carefully.
