Hello! I have a problem with passing a socket to a subprocess in windows. It works in Linux and for windows there is a workaround in the Python doc. However, this workaround does not work. It was already noted by other people and they Python issue tracker
http://bugs.python.org/issue5879 *************************************************************************************************************** the example from http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html?highlight=multiprocessing#module-multiprocessing named " # Example where a pool of http servers share a single listening socket # " does not work on windows. Reason: s = socket.fromfd(fd, family, type_, proto) in line 156 of reduction.py fails, because fromfd is not available on windows. Sad thing: reduction.py was put into processing.py exactly to solve that problem (i.e. reduction.py is provided as workaround for socket.fromfd not available on windows, from the documentation: if sys.platform == 'win32': import multiprocessing.reduction # make sockets pickable/inheritable the solution within processing was: try: fromfd = socket.fromfd except AttributeError: def fromfd(fd, family, type, proto=0): s = socket._socket.socket() _processing.changeFd(s, fd, family, type, proto) return s but: _multiprocessing has no longer a method changeFd.
