[issue30563] [Cygwin] multiprocessing module with pool object issue

[Julien Verger]

Julien Verger added the comment:

Hello Antoine,

I've installed python throught the cygwin.exe installer.
I've tried to add many pythons libs without more success.
I didn't know that cygwin was an unsupported platform.
Unfortunately, my goal is to develop an automation tool based on pexpect 
package which does not work the same on windows build (e.g. pexpect.spawn 
instruction wich is not compatible on windows).
I thought that i could bypass this by using pexpect on cygwin that works great 
but i would like to launch multiple pexpect thread in parallel by using 
multithread package in my cygwin environment.

Julien

[issue30563] multiprocessing module with pool object issue

[Julien Verger]

New submission from Julien Verger:

Hello,

i'm trying to use the sample code that is documented here: 
https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html
from multiprocessing import Pool

def f(x):
return x*x

if __name__ == '__main__':
p = Pool(5)
print(p.map(f, [1, 2, 3]))

This code behaves differently depending on the python version that i use.
I use 2 versions of python interpreter, first on my windows 7 OS and second in 
cygwin.
The code behaves normaly when i execute it on windows python version, but 
nothing seems to happen when i use python interpreter from cygwin.
Other objects than 'pool' seems to be impacted but this short exemple helps me 
to show how to reproduce quickly my issue.

Here are somme informations on the python versions that i'm using:
On the windows side:
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:53:40) [MSC v.1500 64 bit 
(AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.  


On the cygwin side:
Python 2.7.13 (default, Mar 13 2017, 20:56:15)   
[GCC 5.4.0] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Please help

Regards
