%X In this work we motivate and describe three unique
   implementations of processes for PyCSP: process, thread and
   greenlet based. The overall purpose is to demonstrate the
   feasibility of Communicating Sequential Processes as a
   framework for different application types and
   target platforms. The result is a set of three
   implementations of PyCSP with identical interfaces to the
   point where a PyCSP developer need only change which
   implementation is imported to switch to any of the
   other implementations. The three implementations have
   different strengths; processes favors parallel processing,
   threading portability and greenlets favor many processes
   with frequent communication. The paper includes examples of
   applications in all three categories.
