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.

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