        =============
        
        Little process-based workers to do your bidding.
        
        Deliberately minimalist, you provide the number of ``workers`` to use &
        a list of commands (to be executed at the shell) & ``littleworkers`` will eat
        through the list as fast as it can.
        
        
        Why littleworkers?
        ==================
        
        ``littleworkers`` shines when you just want to parallelize something without a
        lot of fuss & when you care more about the data/commands to be run.
        
        * Tiny source
        * Easy to queue a set of actions
        * Works with any runnable commands
        * Uses processes
        * Non-blocking
        
        Seriously, it's not a replacement for threading or multiprocessing if your
        application needs to share a ton of data with the children.
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Usage is trivial::
        
            from littleworkers import Pool
        
            # Define your commands.
            commands = [
                'ls -al',
                'cd /tmp && mkdir foo',
                'date',
                'echo "Hello There."',
                'sleep 2 && echo "Done."'
            ]
        
            # Setup a pool. Since I have two cores, I'll use two workers.
            lil = Pool(workers=2)
        
            # Run!
            lil.run(commands)
        
        For more advanced uses, please see the API documentation.
