>  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/ .

Please, name the package python-multiprocessing to follow Python policy 
[1]. And maybe also mention Python in the short description.

Thanks
