[issue10128] multiprocessing.Pool throws exception with __main__.py

[Michael Olson]

Michael Olson <olson at irinim.net> added the comment:

I wrapped the offending assertion in a if main_name != '__main__'. I considered not checking the module_name against built-in modules but that seemed likely to be the sort of thing being guarded against, so I left it at an exception for __main__.

Ran a few trivial testing using Pool and Process and it seems to work fine.
