Maybe I didn't understand how multiprocessing works but when running the test code below I get 200+ processes in Windows and it never finishes. It works fine on Linux.
This difference between Unix and Windows is documented there: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#windows Please carefully read the paragraph named "Safe importing of main module". You will certainly need to add a condition like if __name__ == '__main__': so that subprocesses (which start a new Python interpreter from the start) don't start another Pool themselves.
