title: Using Python's multiprocessing.Process class
body: <p>This is a newbie question:</p>
  
  <p>A class is an object, so I can create a class called <code>pippo()</code> and inside of this add function and parameter, I don't understand if the functions inside of <code>pippo</code> are executed from up to down when I assign <code>x=pippo()</code> or I must call them as <code>x.dosomething()</code> outside of <code>pippo</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Working with Python's multiprocessing package, is it better to define a big function and create the object using the <code>target</code> argument in the call to <code>Process()</code>, or to create your own process class by inheriting from <code>Process</code> class?</p>
