+
+A robust and efficient way to share data between processes using Python's `multiprocessing.Manager`. This module implements a singleton pattern to ensure consistent data access across different modules and processes.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Singleton Pattern**: Ensures consistent data access across different modules and processes
+- **Automatic Serialization**: Supports both standard pickle and cloudpickle for complex objects
+- **Dictionary-like Interface**: Intuitive API that mimics Python dictionaries
+- **Thread-Safe**: Safe to use in multi-threaded environments
+- **Process-Safe**: Designed for multi-process applications
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling and logging
+- **Resource Management**: Automatic cleanup of resources
+
+## Installation
+
+The easiest way to use *Easy MP Share* is:
+
+1. Copy `easy_mp_share/core.py` to your project as `emps.py`.
+2. Run `from emps import MultiProcessingSharedPool`, and be happy :-).
+3. Any subdirectory will work as long as importing prefix adjusted.
+4. (Optional) Add `cloudpickle>=3` to your project dependencies if you need sharing local functions/lambdas.
+
+
+```bash
+pip install easy-mp-share
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from easy_mp_share import MultiProcessingSharedPool
+
+# Create or get the singleton instance
+pool = MultiProcessingSharedPool()
+
+# Store data
+pool.put("user_name", "Alice")
+pool.put("user_age", 30)
+pool.put("config", {"theme": "dark", "language": "en"})
+
+# Retrieve data
+name = pool.get("user_name")  # "Alice"
+age = pool.get("user_age")    # 30
+config = pool.get("config")   # {"theme": "dark", "language": "en"}
+
+# Dictionary-like access
+pool["session_id"] = "abc123"
+session = pool["session_id"]  # "abc123"
+
+# Check existence
+if "user_name" in pool:
+    print("User name exists!")
+```
+
+### Using the Convenience Instance
+
+```python
+from easy_mp_share import shared_pool
+
+# Direct use of the singleton instance
+shared_pool.put("api_key", "secret_key")
+key = shared_pool.get("api_key")
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage with Complex Objects
+
+```python
+import multiprocessing as mp
+from easy_mp_share import shared_pool
+
+# Store functions and lambdas (requires cloudpickle)
+shared_pool.put("processor", lambda x: x * 2)
+shared_pool.put("custom_func", my_custom_function)
+
+# Use in different processes
+def worker():
+    processor = shared_pool.get("processor")
+    result = processor(21)  # 42
+    print(f"Worker result: {result}")
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    p1 = mp.Process(target=worker)
+    p2 = mp.Process(target=worker)
+    
+    p1.start()
+    p2.start()
+    
+    p1.join()
+    p2.join()
+```
+
+### Context Manager Support
+
+```python
+from easy_mp_share import MultiProcessingSharedPool
+
+with MultiProcessingSharedPool() as pool:
+    pool.put("temp_data", "value")
+    # Auto-cleanup when exiting context
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### MultiProcessingSharedPool
+
+The main class that provides a dictionary-like interface for shared data storage.
+
+#### Methods
+
+- `put(label: str, data: Any) -> bool`: Store data with a label
+- `get(label: str, default: Any = None) -> Any`: Retrieve data by label
+- `exists(label: str) -> bool`: Check if label exists
+- `remove(label: str) -> bool`: Remove a label and its data
+- `pop(label: str, default: Any = None) -> Any`: Remove and return data
+- `size() -> int`: Get the number of items stored
+- `clear()`: Clear all shared data
+- `keys() -> List[str]`: Get all labels
+
+#### Dictionary-like Operations
+
+- `pool[key] = value`: Store data
+- `value = pool[key]`: Retrieve data
+- `del pool[key]`: Remove data
+- `key in pool`: Check existence
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- cloudpickle (optional, for complex object serialization)
+
