[New-bugs-announce] [issue25931] os.fork() command distributed in windows Python27 (in SocketServer module)

[Sam Lobel]

New submission from Sam Lobel:

I ran into this bug while using multiprocessing in Flask, which deep down uses the SocketServer.py module.

There's a call to os.fork() in the windows version , which obviously doesn't work. So SocketServer.py can't be used on windows.

Maybe replace it with something from the multiprocessing module?
