About

-----

``billiard`` is a fork of the Python 2.7 `multiprocessing `_

package. The multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated version of

R Oudkerk's `pyprocessing `_ 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 `_.

- 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.
