Yeah, I saw that and I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. On this
page https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html it says
this:

The multiprocessing package offers both local and remote concurrency,
effectively side-stepping the Global Interpreter Lock by using
subprocesses instead of threads. Due to this, the multiprocessing
module allows the programmer to fully leverage multiple processors on
a given machine.

I took 'remote concurrency' to mean I could use it run a process on
another host. But I don't see how to do that, and I was asking if it
was possible or am I misinterpreting the docs.
