| 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: | |
