I do not understand this statement. You should feel free to make a
backup copy of pool.py and then modify it for debugging.
Right, so, the last time I tried this with a piece of library code, I
ran into some major headaches with import statements. I suppose I
could have a look at Pool and see whether it can be extracted cleanly
and made to run.
I have patched files both in /Lib and /Lib/idle on Windows with no
problems except that I had to switch to admin account to make the patch.
I probably changed 'copy of x.py' to either 'x.bak' or 'x.py.bak'
but I do not remember. Deleting .pyc might or might not help.
For a file in Lib, I have also copied to the working directory with my
script, which gets prepended to sys.path. This makes restoring the
default easier. One would have to copy all of multiprocessing/ for that
to work with m.../pool.py.
