Message queueing

[Etienne Labuschagne]

Hi all,

I am new to this group and could not find an answer after a Google search,
so please bear with me if this question was already asked.

I need to build a distributed app and I am wondering which message queue to
use and if anyone has any experience with interfacing to them in general.

I have played around a bit with Microsoft's using pythonwin to connect to
the COM objects and although this works,  I want to be platform independent
if at all possible.  I am looking into using JMS (Java Message Queue) using
Jython and this seems to be a viable alternative.  I do not want to be
restricted only to Jython as my preference lies with using Python (CPython).
How am I going to get CPython to talk to something written in Java?

So far I have created an XML-RPC "bridge" so that my CPython code can talk
to my Jython based JMS connector.  This entails creating an XML-RPC server
on both sides (for calls and call-backs) but this feels a bit kludgey.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Etienne
