[issue33111] Merely importing tkinter breaks parallel code (multiprocessing, sharedmem)

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The examples in the multiprocessing doc all put all multiprocessing calls within a "if __name__ == '__main__':" statement.  I know that this is necessary on Windows, but don't know if or when it helps on other OSes.
