According to https://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing.html#programming-guidelines you cannot use global resources on Windows: """ Explicitly pass resources to child processes On Unix using the fork start method, a child process can make use of a shared resource created in a parent process using a global resource. However, it is better to pass the object as an argument to the constructor for the child process. Apart from making the code (potentially) compatible with Windows and the other start methods this also ensures that as long as the child process is still alive the object will not be garbage collected in the parent process. This might be important if some resource is freed when the object is garbage collected in the parent process. So for instance from multiprocessing import Process, Lock def f(): ... do something using "lock" ... if __name__ == '__main__': lock = Lock() for i in range(10): Process(target=f).start() should be rewritten as from multiprocessing import Process, Lock def f(l): ... do something using "l" ... if __name__ == '__main__': lock = Lock() for i in range(10): Process(target=f, args=(lock,)).start() """ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
