What I mean is that your code should probably look more like this:
# Contents of main.py
from multiprocessing import Process
import Worker1
import Worker2
import Worker3
p1 = Process(target=Worker1.main)
p1.start()
p2 = Process(target=Worker2.main)
p2.start()
p3 = Process(target=Worker3.main)
p3.start
# Contents of Worker1.py
def main():
# Do worker1 stuff...
# Contents of Worker2.py
def main():
# Do worker2 stuff...
# Contents of Worker3.py
def main():
# Do worker3 stuff...
Alternatively, you could have a single worker.py, import that, but have 3
main() functions, main1(), main2(), main3(), and set the targets for each
process to those functions.
Maybe its because I'm less experienced as most people on this group, but
setting a Process's target to a module and not a specific function in that
module seems slightly strange and ambiguous to me.
