- rbanffy 17y agoLike I use to say: that's Microsoft holding everybody back. ;-) Now, seriously, can we implement a better multiprocessing module for those with modern OSs and leave a less functional one (one that will raise a LesserOSError when certain functionality is invoked)?
- jnoller 17y agoIncorrect; On linux and OS/X it uses fork. On windows it uses a best-effort clone.
