+      Usage of Python's multiprocessing package in a gevent-powered
+      application may raise problems and most likely breaks the application
+      in various subtle ways. gipc (pronunciation "gipsy") is developed with
+      the motivation to solve many of these issues transparently. With gipc,
+      multiprocessing. Process-based child processes can safely be created
+      anywhere within your gevent-powered application.
