Answer 1

I had the issue that multiprocessing did not work on Spyder, and always landed here. I solved it by using threading instead of multiprocessing. as described here: https://pymotw.com/2/threading/

import threading
def worker(num):
    """thread worker function"""
    print 'Worker: %s' % num
    return
threads = []
for i in range(5):
    t = threading.Thread(target=worker, args=(i,))
    threads.append(t)
    t.start()
