Did you name your file multiprocessing.py? If so, simply rename it; it
should be fine.

Otherwise, try running "python -v your_script_name.py" and paste the
full output here, as text. Or at very least, paste the full exception
traceback that you're currently seeing. The exception gives a lot more
information than just its final message, and it helps a lot with
tracking down the problem.
