When should I use Python multiprocessing?

When should I use Python multiprocessing?

You should use Python multiprocessing when you need to run CPU-bound tasks in parallel to improve performance.

Can you give me an example of a CPU-bound task?

Sure! An example of a CPU-bound task is image processing or complex mathematical computations.

What about I/O-bound tasks? Should I use multiprocessing for those?

For I/O-bound tasks, it's better to use threading or asynchronous programming, as they spend more time waiting for I/O operations.

How do I implement multiprocessing in Python?

You can use the multiprocessing module. Start by creating a Process object and then call the start() method.
