Edit Question
Title
Body
The following code hangs without doing anything in Python 3.2.2 in Linux: import tkinter from multiprocessing import Process def f(): root = tkinter.Tk() label = tkinter.Label(root) label.pack() root.mainloop() p = Process(target=f) p.start() The only information I have found about this problem is issue 5527 , in which it is noted that the problem is with tkinter being imported before the process is forked, and that it can be fixed by importing tkinter inside the function f , and that the problem occurs in Linux but not Solaris. What exactly is causing this problem, and is it a bug? Is there any workaround other than to import tkinter locally everywhere I need it (which isn't very Pythonic)? Do any other modules have similar issues with multiprocessing?
