 pyutils.collectionz package
 ===========================
 
+This subpackage contains some homegrown collections that try to
+emulate :mod:`collections` included in the Python standard library
+(see:
+https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#module-collections).
+It ends with a 'z' so as not to collide with the standard library
+package.

 pyutils.collectionz.shared\_dict module
 ---------------------------------------
 
+The shared\_dict.SharedDict class is a normal python dictionary that
+can be accessed safely in parallel from multiple threads or processes
+without (external) locking by using Multiprocessing.SharedMemory.  It
+uses internal locking and rewrites the shared memory region as it is
+changed so it is slower than a normal dict.  It also does not grow
+dynamically; the creator of the shared\_dict must declare a maximum
+size.
