Networking and Interprocess Communication
*****************************************
The modules described in this chapter provide mechanisms for
networking and inter-processes communication.
Some modules only work for two processes that are on the same machine, e.g.
:mod:`signal` and :mod:`mmap`. Other modules support networking protocols
that two or more processes can use to communicate across machines.
The list of modules described in this chapter is:
