New submission from Michael McAuliffe:
On Windows, I froze a script that uses multiprocessing with cx-freeze and
Python 3.4.1 that had freeze_support() in the "if __name__ == '__main__'"
section of the main module, and the resulting executable crashes with a
RuntimeError 'context has already been set'.
The error happens in a call to set_start_method in multiprocessing.spawn's
prepare function, and changing the line in spawn.py from:
if 'start_method' in data:
set_start_method(data['start_method'])
to:
if 'start_method' in data:
set_start_method(data['start_method'], force = True)
allows the frozen executable to successfully run.
