When I run the following listing (server_multi.py) by using multiprocessing module of python, it runs successfully on a Linux machine. However, on a 64-bit windows machine I get the following error:

pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <built-in method recvfrom_into of _socket.socket object at 0x0000000002D2CF10>: it's not found as __main__.recvfrom_into

This module is from the book Foundations of Python Network Programming, 2nd Edition. I am pasting the code with the permission of the author. It seems that socket "listen_sock" cannot be pickled under 64-bit
Windows, however it can be pickled under Linux. How can we remove this issue on Windows? It is interesting that if I use the threading module, it works for both Windows and Linux. Thanks.
