I close the issue, it has been done in 2015:

commit 2a6c2c9baa4bef29d605438c3e2ada01a240bdc3

    Close #10128: don't rerun __main__.py in multiprocessing
    
    - backports issue #10845's mitigation of incompatibilities between
      the multiprocessing module and directory and zipfile execution
    - Multiprocessing on Windows will now automatically skip rerunning top
      level __main__.py modules in spawned processes, rather than failing
      with AssertionError
