Thank you, Winterflower, for the nudge to see this set right.
In truth, invoking multiprocessing.freeze_support() has zero effect on platforms other than Windows.
This should be reflected in the 2.7 docs as well as the 3.x docs that are still actively being updated.
Attached are 2 patches -- they should be cleanly applied to the 2.7, 3.5, and default (3.6) branches. This change clarifies the last line of existing documentation around freeze_support() as well as clearly states what I mentioned above. |
