Backport of 2.6 Multiprocessing to 2.4/2.5

October 23rd, 2008 § 4 comments

Thanks to the work of Chris­t­ian Heimes and Skip Mon­ta­naro with a sup­port­ing role by me, the 2.6 ver­sion of Mul­ti­pro­cess­ing (pypro­cess­ing) has been forked/adjusted for com­pat­i­bil­ity with Python 2.4/2.5.

You can see the pypi pack­age here, and the google code project here.

We chose to do the back port for a vari­ety of rea­sons — hav­ing the new API for the pack­age makes it eas­ier to jump into 2.6 if you’re like me: a heavy pypro­cess­ing user, not to men­tion that dur­ing the migra­tion into python-core, a lot of bugs were fixed.

Check it out, and feel free to file bugs. We’re plan­ning on back port­ing bug fixes from python-core to the project, and applic­a­ble bug fixes from the google code project into python-core.
