    Research direction

    Start with the uploaded example.py and use it to reproduce the reported shared-memory behavior. The issue does not specify the desired behavior or target implementation, so determine the expected support for arrays of objects before identifying the relevant standard-library entry points. Done requires an agreed resolution and tests for the demonstrated case.
