There are a number of issues with multiprocessing itself, and this package says right there on the PyPI page that it has no tests. Not to mention that it calls multiprocessing in a thread. If you're using synchronous / blocking I/O in Python, you have no choice but to do some of the awful stuff multiprocessing does, but Twisted's spawnProcess is much cleaner and integrates efficiently with asynchronous I/O, especially on Linux and MacOS.</div><div><br></div><div><<a href="https://launchpad.net/ampoule">https://launchpad.net/ampoule</a>> is one option you may want to consider.</div><div><br></div><div>(Not to mention the fact that it is confusingly named; it is not part of twisted.internet and in fact does not even use the process support in twisted.internet.)</div><div><br></div><div>-glyph</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
