Answer from AI

In Python, multiprocessing is implemented using the multiprocessing module, which allows creating and managing separate processes, bypassing the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) limitations.

Main features:

  • Creating processes via Process.
  • Sharing data between processes using queues (Queue), pipes (Pipe), or shared memory.
  • Using process pools (Pool) for parallel execution of tasks.

Example of creating and starting a process:

from multiprocessing import Process

def worker(name):
    print(f'Process {name} started')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=worker, args=('A',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

This way, multiple processes can be run in parallel and managed.
