Introduction

The multiprocessing module was defined in PEP 371 by Jesse Noller and Richard Oudkerk. The idea behind this module is to take advantage of multiple processors on a machine. This module is very similar to the threading module.
Given that you use processes you can avoid the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). Let's start by using the Process class.

The Process class is very similar to the threading module’s Thread class.

Example

script.py :
