Jesse Noller <jnol...@gmail.com> added the comment: Hey Alex; This isn't a bug, or a feature request. On win32, the way multiprocessing fakes a fork() is by creating a special subprocess which essentially imports and executes the function/process to be run, communication is handled through pickling and pipes.
For more information, see: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/multiprocessing/forking.py? view=markup Search for "# Windows" in that file, you'll see the basic process we use to "fork" on windows. Without a completely different implementation, this can not be changed. This probably will not change for some time, as such, I'm going to close this issue. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6147> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
