Davin Potts added the comment: Thank you, Winterflower, for the nudge to see this set right.
In truth, invoking multiprocessing.freeze_support() has zero effect on platforms other than Windows. This should be reflected in the 2.7 docs as well as the 3.x docs that are still actively being updated. Attached are 2 patches -- they should be cleanly applied to the 2.7, 3.5, and default (3.6) branches. This change clarifies the last line of existing documentation around freeze_support() as well as clearly states what I mentioned above. ---------- assignee: jnoller -> davin stage: -> patch review versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 -Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41330/issue_5501_explicit_freeze_support_nonWin_v27.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5501> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
