+billiard is a fork of the Python 2.7 multiprocessing package.
+The multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated version of
+R Oudkerk's pyprocessing package.
+This standalone variant draws its fixes/improvements from python-trunk
+and provides additional bug fixes and improvements.
+
+* This package would not be possible if not for the contributions of not
+ only the current maintainers but all of the contributors to the
+ original pyprocessing package listed here.
+* Also, it is a fork of the multiprocessing backport package by
+ Christian Heims.
+* It includes the no-execv patch contributed by R. Oudkerk.
+* And the Pool improvements previously located in Celery.
+* Billiard is used in and is a dependency for Celery and is maintained
+ by the Celery team.
