Pyres is a resque clone built in python. Resque is used by Github as their message queue. Both use Redis as the queue backend and provide a web-based monitoring application.

In addition to multiprocessing there's also the Celery project, if you're using Django.

Thanks for the link? Is it strictly used with django? can we use it for standard python projects? – Aug 28 '09 at 03:20
I don't see why not, with suitable adaptation (not sure how much work that'll be - depends on your exact requirement). – Vinay Sajip Aug 28 '09 at 08:20
Celery has an underlying library, called Carrot, that you can use without Django. – Alex Gaynor Jan 08 '10 at 03:56

Both Celery and Carrot works without Django. Or that is, you can use it from outside of a Django project. Recently someone even implemented paste support: http://bitbucket.org/twillis/celery-paste/ – asksol Feb 01 '10 at 16:25

Celery is now *designed* to be used outside of Django (but still has Django support if you need it) – Matthew Wilcoxson Oct 28 '12 at 17:36

There's also "bucker" by Sylvain Hellegouarch which you can find here:

http://trac.defuze.org/wiki/bucker

It describes itself like this:

bucker is a queue system that supports multiple storage for the queue (memcached, Amazon SQS for now) and is driven by XML messages sent over a TCP connections between a client and the queue server.

redqueue? It's implemented in python+tornado framework, speaks memcached protocol and is optionally persistent into log files. Currently it is also able to behave like beanstalkd, the reserve/delete way in memcache protocol as well.

If you think that Celery is too heavy for your needs then you might want to look at the simple distributed task queue:

It's a year late or whatever, but this is something I've hacked together to make a queue of Processes executing them only X number at a time. http://github.com/goosemo/job_queue

You probably want to look at multiprocessing's Queue. Included in Python 2.6, get it on PyPI for earlier versions of Python.

Standard library documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html On PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/multiprocessing
