Description: 
        Package for using processes which mimics the threading module, and
        allows the sharing of objects between processes.  Communication
        between processes happens via sockets or (on Windows) named pipes and
        uses digest authentication.
        
        The ``processing.Process`` class follows the API of ``threading.Thread``.
        One can also use a *manager* to create shared objects.  The types
        supported by default are ::
        
        Lock, RLock, Condition, Event, Semaphore,
        BoundedSemaphore, Queue, list, dict, Namespace.
        
        A manager can be used in the following way::
        
        >>> from processing import Manager
        >>> manager = Manager()
        >>> l = manager.list(range(10))
        >>> l.reverse()
        >>> print l
        [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
        >>> print repr(l)
        <Proxy[list] object at 0x00E1B3B0>
        
        After installation you can run the test scripts by doing either ::
        
        python -m processing.test
        
        on Python 2.5 or ::
        
        python -c "from processing.test import main; main()"
        
        on earlier versions.  This will run each test script twice: once using
        processes and once using threads.
        
        See ``README.txt`` and ``doc/index.html`` in installed the package for
        more information.
