I am currently trying to wrap my head around what ZeroMQ is and what I can do with it.  This is a quick tutorial I wrote on getting it working with Python.
I was inspired by this video showing zeroMQ working in a demo ~ 3:12 into the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JCBphyciAs&feature=related  [1]

First we need to download ZeroMQ for python and get it working…  I struggled with this for a while but finally got it working.  I am using Ubuntu 10.04 as my OS, here are the steps I took.  I used the following sites to come up with this install procedure https://gist.github.com/574656 [2], http://johanharjono.com/archives/633 [3] http://www.hacksparrow.com/ubuntu-how-to-install-easy_install.html [5]
