Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 First, we need a patch to the sage library changing any remaining imports
 of "processing" to "multiprocessing"; this involves changes to
 parallel/multiprocessing.py, plus perhaps changing the name of that file
 (so that in parallel/decorate.py, a line like {{{import multiprocessing}}}
 means import parallel/multiprocessing.py, while in
 parallel/multiprocessing.py, a line like {{{from multiprocessing import
 Pool}}} means to import the Python multiprocessing module).

 The file SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/setup.py also imports from the processing
 module, so that needs to be changed.

 Also, as awebb suggests, the api seems to have changed: when I make these
 changes and run doctests on sage/parallel/, I get errors like
 {{{
 AttributeError: 'Pool' object has no attribute 'imapUnordered'
 }}}

 After making the appropriate changes, perhaps we should test everything by
 moving the pyprocessing files out of SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-
 packages/ to make sure they're not being loaded?
