Message327046
On the Multi-processing page <https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html> (just above the reference section) there is a warning that the examples wont work from the interpreter.
This is not entirely accurate in that the examples do work, in the interpreter within Linux (and Mac OS I think), where the O/S supports processes being forked.
In fact it is only in Windows, where a brand new process needs to be started and the source is effectively re-imported is there an issue running the examples in the interpreter.
Should the documentation make this clearer ? |
