Brian Quinlan <br...@sweetapp.com> added the comment:

ProcessPoolExecutor is not expected to work with any interactive shell on 
Windows because it uses the multiprocessing module behind the scenes, which has 
that limitation.

I'm reclassifying this as a documentation bug since either a reference to 
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing.html#programming-guidelines 
should appear in the futures docs or (better) the content should be rewritten 
specifically for ProcessPoolExecutor.
