I always thought, that the multiprocessing module does NOT use shared
memory (at least not under windows)

My understanding was, that it forks (or whateveri is closest to fork
under windows) and uses sockets and pickle to communicate between the
processes. However perhap s I just misunderstood I never spent time to 
dive into the internals of multiprocessing.


I would be very interested in a cross platform shared mem solution for
python.
Could you please point me to the right section.
