One way of doing it is to send pickled objects
over socket connections. I'm doing that in a
multiprocess Python server app. and it works
just fine.

As soon as you can access the API of the underlying OS (maybe in the
os module documentation), you have
-pipes
-shared memory (mapped files)
-mailslots
-...

-CORBA: take a look at Fnorb (http://www.dstc.edu.au/Fnorb/), a CORBA2
compliant ORB (see examples to understand how it is simple to set up
inter process communications with this - with automatic transfert of
exceptions, marshmalling of parameters,...).

It is also possible to use repr() on an object before sending it over a
socket connection. The receiving side then runs eval() to restore the
object. This should only be done over a "safe" connection, but it allows
executable objects to be passed and it has the advantage of not passing
binary data, if that matters on your connection.
