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:
.. toctree::
threading.rst
multiprocessing.rst
multiprocessing.shared_memory.rst
concurrent.rst
concurrent.futures.rst
subprocess.rst
sched.rst
queue.rst
The following are support modules for some of the above services:
