Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-3000] Backporting multiprocessing?
Do we want to start a google code project for this given all three of
us are interested in this? :)

I'd like to try backporting the multiprocessing module to Python 2.4. My first problem appears to be the reliance on a complete(?) rewrite of the buffer stuff.
Any clues about transforming this code would be much appreciated.
(Note: I'm backporting because the Python 2.6 version appears to be much more robust than the 0.52 third-party release.)
Good timing, Skip! I was planing to do a backport to 2.5, too. I've some experience with both the old and the new buffer protocol. I might be of some assistance to you.
I like to make as much code of the trunk version compatible with 2.5 and 2.4 as possible. Let's see how far we can get with a bunch of macros and #ifdefs.

Do we need (yet) another Google code project? Isn't svn.python.org sufficient for our needs? I'm -0 on a Google code project but I'll give you my gmail account if you insist on one. Christian

I've not used svn.python.org for personal side/projects - also, ideally the back port would be stand-alone and package-index installable

OTOH, firing up a Google Code project means you can admit project developers without giving them the keys to the kingdom so-to-speak. Skip

Fair enough :) I fired up http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/ last night, and added you and Christian - anyone else wanting in on this can ping me. Skip - I know you had some work you already had on the bench for pulling out-repackaging the MP stuff, do you want to commit that and then we can work from there? We should also probably take this off the dev list -jesse
