Hello,

I am using Python 2.7 on Windows 10 and I want to launch a process
independently of the rest of the code so that the execution continues while
the started process proceeds. I am using Process().start() from Python 2.7
as follows:

from multiprocessing import Process
def do_something(text):
    print(text)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    q = Process(target=do_something,args=("somecmd") )
    q.start()
    # following code should execute right after the q.start() call (not
until it returns)
    .....


But getting the error at the call of Process().start():
pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'module'>: it's not found as
__builtin__.module

anybody could provide an alternative to call the function do_something() in
a separate thread ?
