Bug Description
The original script using multiprocessing works fine on Linux/macOS but causes an infinite recursion error on Windows. This happens because Windows uses the "spawn" method for creating new processes, which re-imports the script when a new process is spawned. As a result, every subprocess starts executing the entire script again, leading to an infinite loop of process creation.
Cause of the Bug
Fix
To prevent this infinite loop, we wrap the multiprocessing logic inside
if __name__ == "__main__":
. This ensures that the pool is only created when the script is executed directly and not when a subprocess re-imports it.How This Fix Works:
Does This Apply to Your Script?
