- ForkedProcess is much more careful with inherited state -- closes file handles, removes atexit and excepthook callbacks
- Remote processes copy sys.path from parent
- Parallelizer has ProgressDialog support
- Many docstring updates
- Added some test code for remote GraphicsView rendering
- allows starting new processes and controlling them remotely from the parent process
- remote processes can run their own GUI, Qt signals can be connected between processes
(in general this is not possible with the built-in multiprocessing module due to
the use of fork() ).
- Control works by a system of proxy-objects such that controlling a remote process
looks almost exactly like working with local objects.
- Uses sockets to communicate between processes (so in theory could be made to
work over a network), but also includes a mode that uses fork() to allow fast
parallelization.
- Wicked-easy inline parallelization by adding only one line of code to break up work between
processes (requires fork; sorry windows users)
