Python Multiprocessing error: AttributeError: module ‘__main__’ has no attribute ‘__spec__’

by

The problem is not with the code / Python 3.6, it is with Spyder.

After some investigation I found that the code runs fine when executed in an external system terminal but not when run in Spyder’s IPython console.

I was able to dump the contents of spec and assign them to a variable that was included inside main to allow this code to function within the IPython console.

from multiprocessing import Pool

def f(x):
    return x*x

if __name__ == '__main__':
    __spec__ = "ModuleSpec(name="builtins", loader=<class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>)"
    with Pool(5) as p:
       print (p.map(f, [1, 2, 3]))
