New submission from Zahari Dim:
The following example should start two processes, but instead it starts three,
even though only two do_work(). A third process is incorrectly started after
the first one finishes.
import os
import time
from multiprocessing import Pool
def initprocess():
print("Starting PID: %d" % os.getpid())
def do_work(x):
print("Doing work in %d" % os.getpid())
time.sleep(x**2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
p = Pool(2, initializer=initprocess,maxtasksperchild=1)
results = p.map(do_work, (1,2), chunksize=1)
