  A class for partitioning a sequence using a map.

  `concatenate`(listOfPartitions)
  `getPartition`(seq, p, q)
    Returns the pth partition of q partitions of seq.
  `joinPartitions`(listOfPartitions)

### `RoundRobinMap`

class `IPython.kernel.map.``RoundRobinMap`

  Bases: `IPython.kernel.map.Map`
