About
-----
`billiard` is a fork of the Python 2.7 `multiprocessing <http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html>`_
package. The multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated version of
R Oudkerk's `pyprocessing <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/processing/>`_ package.
This standalone variant is intended to be compatible with Python 2.4 and 2.5,
and will draw it's fixes/improvements from python-trunk.
- This package would not be possible if not for the contributions of not only
the current maintainers but all of the contributors to the original pyprocessing
package listed `here <http://pyprocessing.berlios.de/doc/THANKS.html>`_
- Also it is a fork of the multiprocessin backport package by Christian Heims.
- It includes the no-execv patch contributed by R. Oudkerk.
- And the Pool improvements previously located in `Celery`_.
