""" GaudiPython.Parallel module.
    This module provides 'parallel' processing support for GaudiPyhton.
    It is adding some sugar on top of public domain packages such as
    the 'processing' or the 'pp' packages. The interface can be made
    independent of the underlying implementation package.
    Two main class are defined: Task and WorkManager
