  Description     : process-based "threading" interface

 multiprocessing is a package that supports spawning processes using an API
 similar to the threading module. The multiprocessing package offers both local
 and remote concurrency, effectively side-stepping the Global Interpreter Lock by
 using subprocesses instead of threads. Due to this, the multiprocessing module
 allows the programmer to fully leverage multiple processors on a given machine.
 It runs on both Unix and Windows.
 .
 This is a back port to Python 2.4/2.5 of the multiprocessing package introduced
 via PEP-371 and Python 2.6. This is essentially for meta-fork of the original
 pyprocessing project found at: http://pyprocessing.berlios.de/ .
