-# Example where a pool of http servers share a single listening socket
-#
-# On Windows this module depends on the ability to pickle a socket
-# object so that the worker processes can inherit a copy of the server
-# object.  (We import `multiprocessing.reduction` to enable this pickling.)
-#
-# Not sure if we should synchronize access to `socket.accept()` method by
-# using a process-shared lock -- does not seem to be necessary.
