Georg kindly published the PEP I submitted last night to the PEP site:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/ This PEP includes some of the previous discussion on the processing module's inclusion, and I hope clears up/clarifies some of the goals/non goals and issues. I also included benchmark data and a link to the code used for said benchmarks. I would like to renew the discussion now that "there is a PEP" to see if there are any outstanding things people would like to get resolved. I chose to continue to push it for 2.6 / 3.0 inclusion due to feedback both here and elsewhere that people would rather see this in sooner in some form, rather than later (i.e.: 2.7/3.1). +1 from me (under the 'multiprocessing' name, with the understanding that some code duplication with other parts of the standard library may still remain in 2.6/3.0).

+1 from me as well, and I support the rename to multiprocessing ("processing" is just too much of a common word).

This will provide a good short-term answer to those who still clamor for dropping the GIL.
