Interprocess Communication and Networking
The modules described in this chapter provide mechanisms for different processes
to communicate.
Some modules only work for two processes that are on the same machine, e.g.
:mod:`signal` and :mod:`subprocess`. Other modules support networking protocols
that two or more processes can used to communicate across machines.
The list of modules described in this chapter is:
.. toctree::
subprocess.rst
socket.rst
ssl.rst
signal.rst
asyncore.rst
asynchat.rst
