python - csp can be installed using PIP(PIP Installs Python):

    $ sudo pip install python - csp

or from a source distribution using setup.py:

    $ python setup.py install

python - csp adds C.A.R. (Tony) Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes to Python. A brief example:

>> > @process
... def writer(channel, n):
... for i in xrange(n):
...              channel.write(i)
...      channel.poison()
... return
...
>> > @process
... def reader(channel):
... while True:
... print channel.read()
...
>> > chan = Channel()
>> > Par(reader(chan), writer(chan, 5)).start()
