Sorry, "serialization" isn't the right word.  I just meant creating a tuple 
that contains the request type, args, kwargs, and a newly-created Queue.Queue 
object used to return the result.  On the way back, I pass a tuple containing 
Success/Fail, followed by either the return value or the result of 
sys.exc_info().
