Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Let's reopen, shall we? If not for 3.4, at least for 3.5.
It's likely that multiprocessing needs a __main__ simply because it needs a way to replicate the parent process' state in the child (for example, the set of imported modules, the logging configuration, etc.). Perhaps Richard can elaborate. But, AFAIU, the __main__ could be imported as a script rather than a "proper" module from sys.path. ---------- assignee: brett.cannon -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
