So it seems that maybe simply "setExecutable()" isn't the correct abstraction here, but maybe a "factory" approach, so the entire process creation mechanism can be replaced rather than just the name of the executable to spawn?

Indeed. If the spawn mechanisms (and even the connection mechanisms) were fully abstracted, then I believe that extending pyProcessing to work in clusters with something like MPI would be far easier. But perhaps I'm just dreaming...
