+Interprocess Communication and Networking
+*****************************************
+
+The modules described in this chapter provide mechanisms for different processes
+to communicate.
+
+Some modules only work for two processes that are on the same machine, e.g.
+:mod:`signal` and :mod:`subprocess`. Other modules support networking protocols
+that two or more processes can used to communicate across machines.
+
+The list of modules described in this chapter is:

+
+ subprocess.rst
+ socket.rst
+ signal.rst
+ asyncore.rst
+ asynchat.rst
