Python & RabbitMQ -- Communicate Between Parent & Children?

I'd like to write a python script (call it parent) that does the following:

(1) defines a multi-dimensional numpy array

(2) forks 10 different python scripts (call them children开发者_如何学Python). Each of them must be able to read the contents of the numpy array from (1) at any single point in time (as long as they are alive).

(3) each of the child scripts will do its own work (children DO NOT share any info with each other)

(4) at any point in time, the parent script must be able to accept messages from all of its children. These messages will be parsed by the parent and cause the numpy array from (1) to change.

How do I go about this, when working in python in a Linux environment? I thought of using rabbitMQ and have the parent be a producer (of the numpy array) to its children. On the other hand, each child must be able to transmit messages to the parent.

Which rabbitMQ model is most suitable for this?

'Global Arrays' might be what you need.
