        About
        -----
        
        ``billiard`` is a fork of the Python 2.7 `multiprocessing <https://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html>`_
        package. The multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated version of
        R Oudkerk's `pyprocessing <https://pypi.org/project/processing/>`_ package.
        This standalone variant draws its fixes/improvements from python-trunk and provides
        additional bug fixes and improvements.
        
        - 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 multiprocessing backport package by Christian Heims.
        
        - It includes the no-execv patch contributed by R. Oudkerk.
        
        - And the Pool improvements previously located in `Celery`_.
        
        - Billiard is used in and is a dependency for `Celery`_ and is maintained by the
          Celery team.
