Multiprocessing is about more than one process and multithreading is about more than one thread. If you want Python specifics you could start here http://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html or here http://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html, both of which may have been found by using your favourite search engine. -- Roses are red, Violets are blue, Most poems rhyme, But this one doesn't.

I doubt a newbie knows the difference between a thread and a process.
Threads share all memory and global variabls. They can communicate
with each other through global variables.
Processes are completely isolated from each other and much communicate
with each other through mechanisms provided by the OS (e.g. sockets,
mailboxes, pipes, files).
