Description-en: Python bindings for ioprocess
When performing IO over network storage (specifically NFS) the process might
get stuck in D state. To prevent your main process from becoming unkillable
you might prefer to have a slave process do all the risky IO. This is what
ioprocess is for.
.
This package provides a python API to ioprocess.
