+High-level implementation of Subinterpreters
+============================================
+
+**Source code:** :source:`Lib/test/support/_interpreters.py`
+
+--------------
+
+This module provides high-level tools for working with sub-interpreters,
+such as creating them, running code in them, or sending data between them.
+It is a wrapper around the low-level ``__xxsubinterpreters`` module.
+
+.. versionchanged:: added in 3.9
+
+Interpreter Objects
+-------------------
+
+The ``Interpreter`` object represents a single interpreter.
+
+.. class:: Interpreter(id)
+
+    The class implementing a subinterpreter object.
+
+    .. method:: is_running()
+
+       Return ``True`` if the identified interpreter is running.
+
+    .. method:: close()
+
+       Destroy the interpreter. Attempting to destroy the current
+       interpreter results in a `RuntimeError`.
+
+    .. method:: run(self, src_str, /, *, channels=None):
+
+       Run the given source code in the interpreter. This blocks
+       the current thread until done. ``channels`` should be in
+       the form : `(RecvChannel, SendChannel)`.
+
+RecvChannel Objects
+-------------------
+
+The ``RecvChannel`` object represents a recieving channel.
+
+.. class:: RecvChannel(id)
+
+    This class represents the receiving end of a channel.
+
+    .. method:: recv()
+
+        Get the next object from the channel, and wait if
+        none have been sent. Associate the interpreter
+        with the channel.
+
+    .. method:: recv_nowait(default=None)
+
+        Like ``recv()``, but return the default result
+        instead of waiting.
+
+
+SendChannel Objects
+--------------------
+
+The ``SendChannel`` object represents a sending channel.
+
+.. class:: SendChannel(id)
+
+    This class represents the sending end of a channel.
+
+    .. method:: send(obj)
+
+       Send the object ``obj`` to the receiving end of the channel
+       and wait. Associate the interpreter with the channel.
+
+    .. method:: send_nowait(obj)
+
+        Similar to ``send()``, but returns ``False`` if
+        *obj* is not immediately received instead of blocking.
+
+
+This module defines the following global functions:
+
+
+.. function:: is_shareable(obj)
+
+   Return ``True`` if the object's data can be shared between
+   interpreters.
+
+.. function:: create_channel()
+
+   Create a new channel for passing data between interpreters.
+
+.. function:: list_all_channels()
+
+   Return all open channels.
+
+.. function:: create(*, isolated=True)
+
+   Initialize a new (idle) Python interpreter. Get the currently
+   running interpreter. This method returns an ``Interpreter`` object.
+
+.. function:: get_current()
+
+   Get the currently running interpreter. This method returns
+   an ``Interpreter`` object.
+
+.. function:: get_main()
+
+   Get the main interpreter. This method returns
+   an ``Interpreter`` object.
+
+.. function:: list_all()
+
+   Get all existing interpreters. Returns a list
+   of ``Interpreter`` objects.
+
+This module also defines the following exceptions.
+
+.. exception:: RunFailedError
+
+   This exception, a subclass of :exc:`RuntimeError`, is raised when the
+   ``Interpreter.run()`` results in an uncaught exception.
+
+.. exception:: ChannelError
+
+   This exception is a subclass of :exc:`Exception`, and is the base
+   class for all channel-related exceptions.
+
+.. exception:: ChannelNotFoundError
+
+   This exception is a subclass of :exc:`ChannelError`, and is raised
+   when the the identified channel is not found.
+
+.. exception:: ChannelEmptyError
+
+   This exception is a subclass of :exc:`ChannelError`, and is raised when
+   the channel is unexpectedly empty.
+
+.. exception:: ChannelNotEmptyError
+
+   This exception is a subclass of :exc:`ChannelError`, and is raised when
+   the channel is unexpectedly not empty.
+
+.. exception:: NotReceivedError
+
+   This exception is a subclass of :exc:`ChannelError`, and is raised when
+   nothing was waiting to receive a sent object.
