Concurrent Execution
********************
The modules described in this chapter provide support for concurrent
execution of code. The appropriate choice of tool will depend on the
task to be executed (CPU bound vs IO bound) and preferred style of
development (event driven cooperative multitasking vs preemptive
multitasking). Here's an overview:

bpo-35813: Tests and docs for shared_memory (#11816) * Added tests for shared_memory submodule. * Added tests for ShareableList. * Fix bug in allocationn size during creation of empty ShareableList illuminated by existing test run on Linux. * Initial set of docs for shared_memory module. * Added docs for ShareableList, added doctree entry for shared_memory submodule, name refactoring for greater clarity. * Added examples to SharedMemoryManager docs, for ease of documentation switched away from exclusively registered functions to some explicit methods on SharedMemoryManager. * Wording tweaks to docs. * Fix test failures on Windows. * Added tests around SharedMemoryManager. * Documentation tweaks. * Fix inappropriate test on Windows. * Further documentation tweaks. * Fix bare exception. * Removed __copyright__. * Fixed typo in doc, removed comment. * Updated SharedMemoryManager preliminary tests to reflect change of not supporting all registered functions on SyncManager. * Added Sphinx doctest run controls. * CloseHandle should be in a finally block in case MapViewOfFile fails. * Missed opportunity to use with statement. * Switch to self.addCleanup to spare long try/finally blocks and save one indentation, change to use decorator to skip test instead. * Simplify the posixshmem extension module. Provide shm_open() and shm_unlink() functions. Move other functionality into the shared_memory.py module. * Added to doc around size parameter of SharedMemory. * Changed PosixSharedMemory.size to use os.fstat. * Change SharedMemory.buf to a read-only property as well as NamedSharedMemory.size. * Marked as provisional per PEP411 in docstring. * Changed SharedMemoryTracker to be private. * Removed registered Proxy Objects from SharedMemoryManager. * Removed shareable_wrap(). * Removed shareable_wrap() and dangling references to it. * For consistency added __reduce__ to key classes. * Fix for potential race condition on Windows for O_CREX. * Remove unused imports. * Update access to kernel32 on Windows per feedback from eryksun. * Moved kernel32 calls to _winapi. * Removed ShareableList.copy as redundant. * Changes to _winapi use from eryksun feedback. * Adopt simpler SharedMemory API, collapsing PosixSharedMemory and WindowsNamedSharedMemory into one. * Fix missing docstring on class, add test for ignoring size when attaching. * Moved SharedMemoryManager to managers module, tweak to fragile test. * Tweak to exception in OpenFileMapping suggested by eryksun. * Mark a few dangling bits as private as suggested by Giampaolo.
