Skip Montanaro and others hackers started to port the multiprocessing module to Python 2.4 and 2.5. http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/

Is it planned to include it in 2.4.6 and/or 2.5.3? Neither. For 2.4.x, we only accept security fixes; for 2.5.3, only bug fixes (and after that, only security fixes). New features are rejected. I completely agree. If only there was an independent repository of add-on packages for Python available... . - -Barry

The backported version of MP is on pypi. Fancy that.
