Problem of messageQueue on macos #49

Closed p4sh4bsc closed 1 year ago

p4sh4bsc commented 1 year ago

Hello, I would like to know why I don't have a messageQueue on macos. However, if I use this library on Ubuntu, then messageQueue can be used. Is this a problem on my side or it just the lib doesn't support messageQueue on macOS? I have already tried all possible solutions and searched for information of this problem in many sources, but I did not find the answer. I hope that you will give me an answer to my question, thanks!

Привіт! You are correct, message queues are not supported on Mac because Apple has chosen not to implement POSIX message queues on Mac OS. This library is just a Python wrapper around operating system features, so if the operating system doesn't support it, this library can't support it either.

This behavior is documented here: https://github.com/osvenskan/posix_ipc/blob/develop/USAGE.md#platform-notes
