Description: # POSIX IPC
        
        `posix_ipc` is a Python module (written in C) that permits creation and manipulation of POSIX inter-process semaphores, shared memory and message queues on platforms supporting the POSIX Realtime Extensions a.k.a. POSIX 1003.1b-1993. This includes nearly all Unices and Windows + Cygwin ≥ 1.7.
        
        `posix_ipc` is compatible with all supported versions of Python 3.
