| The http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing#windows section of the docs should document the limitations that multiprocessing on Windows places on __main__ module invocation. - no execution of modules inside packages with -m - no execution of packages (since their __main__ is inside the package) | ||

| (Actually the latter isn't true - the __main__ bypass handles that case. Since none of the code gets executed in the child process, it doesn't generally matter that __package__ isn't set properly) | ||

| These interactions were fixed in the release where *nix multiprocessing gained the ability to mimic the Windows behaviour. |
