New issue 749: multiprocessing broken since 2.7.1 on Windows https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/749/multiprocessing-broken-since-271-on
Marc Schlaich: With pytest 2.7.1, Processes with multiprocessing don't start anymore, I'm seeing this in stdout: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "c:\python27\Lib\multiprocessing\forking.py", line 380, in main prepare(preparation_data) File "c:\python27\Lib\multiprocessing\forking.py", line 488, in prepare assert main_name not in sys.modules, main_name AssertionError: __main__ This is probably due to this upstream issue with wheels: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1891 Installing pytest not as wheel with `pip install --no-use-wheel` resolves this issue. _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
