New submission from simon <ext-simon.steiner at nokia.com>:

testmultiprocessing.py:

def main():
    import multiprocessing

    proc = multiprocessing.Process(target=runhi)
    proc.start()
    proc.join()
    
def runhi():
    print 'hi'
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

testmultiprocessing.py is inside myegg.egg

set PYTHONPATH=myegg.egg

python -m testmultiprocessing
