Why does pool run the entire file multiple times?

Question

I\'m trying to understand the output from this Python 2.7.5 example script:

import time
from multiprocessing import Pool

print(time.strftime(\'%Y-%m-%d %H:%         


        

Answer 1

The modification presented below won't print those lines multiple time.

import time

from multiprocessing import Pool

def main():
  if __name__ == '__main__':
  print(time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M', time.localtime(time.time())))
  props2=[
        '170339',
        '170357',
        '170345',
        '170346',
        '171232',
        '170363',
        ]

  pool = Pool(processes=3)
  pool.map(go, props2)

  print(time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M', time.localtime(time.time())))

def go(x):
  print(x)

main()
