  Description     : Robust and reusable process pool executor for Python

loky is a Python library that provides a robust, cross-platform and
cross-version implementation of the concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor
class.

It offers a reusable process pool executor, consistent process spawning
behavior, transparent integration with cloudpickle, and improved handling of
worker crashes and deadlocks.

loky is developed by the joblib project and is used as the default process
execution backend for joblib to support reliable parallel execution in Python
applications.

loky is an optional dependency for python-scinexus, 
but it is strictly required for the latest version of cognet3.

It is to be maintained by the Debian Med Team.
