I'll assume that you're a newbie so I'll keep it simple. 
Multiprocessing is about more than one process and multithreading is 
about more than one thread.  If you want Python specifics you could 
start here http://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html or here 
http://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html, both of which may have 
been found by using your favourite search engine.
