Thanks for the tip Nick. Adding the following line before using the
module works for me:

sys.executable = os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix,'pythonw.exe')

I'm not sure if there will be any side affects to modifying
sys.executable though. Should this be the official way of supporting
embedded interpreters or should there be a
multiprocessing.setExecutable() method?
