+Sysv_ipc gives Python programs access to System V semaphores, shared memory
+and message queues. Most (all?) Unixes (including OS X) support System V IPC.
+Windows+Cygwin 1.7 might also work.
+
+Sample code is included.
+
+sysv_ipc is free software (free as in speech and free as in beer) released
+under a 3-clause BSD license. Complete licensing information is available in
+the LICENSE file.
