<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 550801 by <a href="/recipes/users/470921/">Gary Eakins</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/fork/">fork</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mmap/">mmap</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/process/">process</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>A procedure that runs a function asynchronously in a forked process (Availability: Macintosh, Unix). The return from the specified function is written into an anonymous memory map (mmap: requires +Python 2.5). This can be useful for releasing resources used by the function such as memory, updating a gui or cli widget, or other weirdness.</p>

Revision 4. </p> <p>It is easy to call Windows API dlls using the ctypes module with win32con defining the constant values for message identifiers and parameter flags. The demo code shows a simple but complete application that registers a window class and a Python WndProc callback function, creates the window and pumps messages.</p>
