Multiprocessing wasn't added until Python 2.6.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/
In Python 2.5, it was still a 3rd party package.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/processing
The project's website appears to be down right now though.

Like this:
import multiprocessing
multiprocessing.Process(target=func, args=("1",)).start()
multiprocessing.Process(target=func, args=("2",)).start()
...
Surprise surprise it has almost the same API
as the threading module :)

Create a new process to run python function
Hi everyone,
in my script (python 2.5 on windows xp) I need to run a simple
function in a separate process. In other words I need something
similar to the fork function under UNIX. I tried with threads:
import os, threading
def func(s) :
print "I'm thread number "+s, os.getpid()
threading.Thread(target=func, args=("1",)).start()
threading.Thread(target=func, args=("2",)).start()
but this does not work, since the two threads share the same pid. Can
anyone give me a suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
