 It turns out that on some platforms, importing multiprocessing, then
 twisted, leads to an "int object is not callable" TypeError.  This breaks
 devel/sage/sage/all.py's quit_sage function, causing a big traceback at
 exit.   This could also cause great confusion for people writing a program
 that uses @parallel('multiprocessing') followed by anything involving
 twisted.

 A simple fix is to import the relevant part of twisted before using
 multiprocessing in @parallel.   The attached patch does this.
