+1 from me (under the 'multiprocessing' name, with the understanding that some code duplication with other parts of the standard library may still remain in 2.6/3.0).

+1 from me as well.

I think multiple-processes is over played as a concurrency solution in Python (where you need to marshal lots of data in and out, the overheads of multiple processes can be very expensive) - but it is a very good solution for some problems.

From a non-web programmer's point of view, it seems like even more of a gain than standard library support for JSON ;)

Cheers,
