#
# 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 a webbrowser.
