Sorry for taking the time, I just found the solution:
-------------------
import multiprocessing

def f(i):
     return i

def cfactory(i):
     def c(r):
         print r, i
     return c

p = multiprocessing.Pool()
for i in range(20):
     p.apply_async(f, (i,) , callback=cfactory(i))
p.close()
p.join()
------------------

Regards,
André
