The point of pyprocessing is that fact that the API is the same as that 
of the threading module - making it very easy to convert a multithreaded 
program to a multiprocessing one, and hence making it easy to exploit 
multiple processors in a CPU bound Python program, regardless of the 
restrictions imposed by Python's GIL.

Cheers,
Nick.
