As you can see, Interprocess is pretty limited for your needs :-(

For the moment, Interprocess offers generic wrappers over common 
intra-machine, interprocess mechanisms (shared memory, memory mapped 
files, mutex/condition/message queue...)

Interprocess has not (yet) higher level mechanisms. In theory, one could 
use Interprocess to build more advanced serialization features for 
intra-machine communication.
