Sharing Data in Python

R

I have some Pickled data, which is stored on disk, and it is about 100 MB in size.

When my python program is executed, the picked data is loaded using the cPickle module, and all that works fine.

If I execute the python multiple times using python main.py for example, each python process will load the same data multiple times, which is the correct behaviour.

How can I make it so, all new python process share this data, so it is only loaded a single time into memory?

asked the same question on SO, but could not get any constructive responses.. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10550870/sharing-data-in-python/10551845

You can have one process as server and client ask for parts of data.
You might be able to do something smart with mmap but I can't think of a way.

I Linux systems, if you first load the data and then fork, the OS will keep all the read only data shared.
