# # Package analogous to 'threading.py' but using processes # # multiprocessing/__init__.py # # This package is intended to duplicate the functionality (and much of # the API) of threading.py but uses processes instead of threads. A # subpackage 'multiprocessing.dummy' has the same API but is a simple # wrapper for 'threading'. # # Try calling `multiprocessing.doc.main()` to read the html # documentation in in a webbrowser. # # # Copyright (c) 2006-2008, R Oudkerk # All rights reserved. # # Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without # modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions # are met: # # 1.
