    '''

    Processor class wrapping handling of subprocess IO.

    In a way, this is a "communicate()" replacement with a twist.

    - We are multithreaded. Writing in and reading out, err are all sep threads.

    - We support concurrent (in and out) stream processing.

    - The output is not a stream. It's a queue of read string (bytes, not unicode)

      chunks. The object behaves as an iterable. You can "for chunk in obj:" us.

    - We are non-blocking in more respects than communicate()

      (reading from subprocess out pauses when internal buffer is full, but

       does not block the parent calling code. On the flip side, reading from

       slow-yielding subprocess may block the iteration until data shows up. This

       does not block the parallel inpipe reading occurring parallel thread.)

    The purpose of the object is to allow us to wrap subprocess interactions into

    and interable that can be passed to a WSGI server as the application's return

    value. Because of stream-processing-ability, WSGI does not have to read ALL

    of the subprocess's output and buffer it, before handing it to WSGI server for

    HTTP response. Instead, the class initializer reads just a bit of the stream

    to figure out if error ocurred or likely to occur and if not, just hands the

    further iteration over subprocess output to the server for completion of HTTP

    response.

    The real or perceived subprocess error is trapped and raised as one of

    EnvironmentError family of exceptions

    Example usage:

    #    try:

    #        answer = SubprocessIOChunker(

    #            cmd,

    #            input,

    #            buffer_size = 65536,

    #            chunk_size = 4096

    #            )

    #    except (EnvironmentError) as e:

    #        print str(e)

    #        raise e

    #

    #    return answer
