The only thing that I have some concern about is the reinventing = of the wheel in python. multiprocessing Managers are one viable option that= =E2=80=99s existed since python 2.6; there=E2=80=99s a learning curve thoug= h, and you=E2=80=99ll run into problems with pickling some objects because = the pickle protocol is far from complete (example: http://stackoverflow.com= /questions/1816958/cant-pickle-type-instancemethod-when-using-pythons-multi= processing-pool-ma ); you might run into this problems regardless because y= ou=E2=80=99re serializing objects using pickle instead of using dill (or us= ing a simpler serialization method like JSON). Fabric has a framework that= =E2=80=99s nice to use if you have ssh capability.
