py2exe is explicitly supported (via the freezeSupport() call). That may work for the embedded case as well, or it may be something that can be addressed by modifying sys.executable.

Thanks for the tip Nick. Adding the following line before using the module works for me:

sys.executable = os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix,'pythonw.exe')

I'm not sure if there will be any side affects to modifying sys.executable though. Should this be the official way of supporting embedded interpreters or should there be a multiprocessing.setExecutable() method?
