Python multiprocessing keyword arguments
===

Here is a simple example of using keyword arguments in a function call.  Nothing special.

    def foo(arg1,arg2, **args):
        print arg1, arg2
        print (args)
        print args['x']
 
    args ={'x':2, 'y':3}
    foo(1,2,**args)

Which prints, as expected:

    1 2
    {'y': 3, 'x': 2}
    2

I am trying to pass the same style keyword arguments to a multiprocessing task, but the use of **, in the args list is a syntax error.  I know that my function, stretch() will take two positional arguments and n keyword arguments.  

    pool = [multiprocessing.Process(target=stretch, args= (shared_arr,slice(i, i+step),**args)) for i in range (0, y, step)]


Is it possible to pass keyword arguments to a multiprocessing.Process?  If so, how?  If not, why?
