What are you using to communicate between processes?

I have used threads in Python, using queues to pass data around like so:
http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/Queue/index.html

and found it fairly convenient. Of course, there is the GIL, but I
still experienced some parallelism due to I/O blocking.

Anyway, I'm curious if there's some interesting and easy techniques
for multiprocess communication.
