RuntimeError on windows trying python multiprocessing

by

On Windows the subprocesses will import (i.e. execute) the main module at start. You need to insert an if __name__ == '__main__': guard in the main module to avoid creating subprocesses recursively.

Modified testMain.py:

import parallelTestModule

if __name__ == '__main__':    
    extractor = parallelTestModule.ParallelExtractor()
    extractor.runInParallel(numProcesses=2, numThreads=4)
