    """Vectorized environment that runs multiple environments in parallel. It
    uses `multiprocessing` processes, and pipes for communication.

    Parameters
    ----------
    env_fns : iterable of callable
        Functions that create the environments.

    observation_space : `gym.spaces.Space` instance, optional
        Observation space of a single environment. If `None`, then the
        observation space of the first environment is taken.

    action_space : `gym.spaces.Space` instance, optional
        Action space of a single environment. If `None`, then the action space
        of the first environment is taken.

    shared_memory : bool (default: `True`)
        If `True`, then the observations from the worker processes are
        communicated back through shared variables. This can improve the
        efficiency if the observations are large (e.g. images).

    copy : bool (default: `True`)
        If `True`, then the `reset` and `step` methods return a copy of the
        observations.

    context : str, optional
        Context for multiprocessing. If `None`, then the default context is used.
        Only available in Python 3.

    daemon : bool (default: `True`)
        If `True`, then subprocesses have `daemon` flag turned on; that is, they
        will quit if the head process quits. However, `daemon=True` prevents
        subprocesses to spawn children, so for some environments you may want
        to have it set to `False`

    worker : function, optional
        WARNING - advanced mode option! If set, then use that worker in a subprocess
        instead of a default one. Can be useful to override some inner vector env
        logic, for instance, how resets on done are handled. Provides high
        degree of flexibility and a high chance to shoot yourself in the foot; thus,
        if you are writing your own worker, it is recommended to start from the code
        for `_worker` (or `_worker_shared_memory`) method below, and add changes
