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. ---------- components: +Documentation -IDLE _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
