Dont be scared off by this description. ``tractor`` **is just
``trio``** but with nurseries for process management and cancel-able
IPC. If you understand how to work with ``trio``, ``tractor`` will
give you the parallelism youve been missing.

``tractor``'s nurseries let you spawn ``trio`` *"actors"*: new Python
processes which each run a ``trio`` scheduled task tree (also known as
an `async sandwich

- a call to ``trio.run()``). That is, each “*Actor*” is a new process
plus a ``trio`` runtime.

“Actors” communicate by exchanging asynchronous `messages
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing>`_ and avoid sharing
state. The intention of this model is to allow for highly distributed
software that, through the adherence to *structured concurrency*,
results in systems which fail in predictable and recoverable ways.

down. A great place to start is the `trio docs

* Infinitely nesteable process trees
* Built-in API for inter-process streaming
* A (first ever?) “native” multi-core debugger for Python using
`pdb++ <https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp>`_
* (Soon to land) ``asyncio`` support allowing for “infected” actors
where *trio* drives the *asyncio* scheduler via the astounding
