Yup, someone filed it last night and added a patch to the tracker. Sorry about the problems – I tend to run from subversion rather than doing any sort of make install step

Getting the same results on amd64 ubuntu:

~$ python

>>> import multiprocessing
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named multiprocessing
>>>

Perhaps it's related to the fact I have multiple Python interpreters installed (2.3 till 3.0)? I'll see if I can debug the issue and otherwise I'll send you that email. Thanks!

Ok, so I double-checked the source tarball, I unpacked it and did the following - "./configure && make" after that, I fired up the python.exe executable in the build directory:

woot:Python-2.6b1 jesse$ ./python.exe

So, I think it may be something in the compile step failing for you, or something else entirely. If you want, you can email me at jnoller at gmail dot youknowwhat.

I hope not! I did all the heavy lifting on my macbook pro, so I just downloaded the src tarballs (I've been running off of trunk) and I'm checking it now.

I just downloaded the tarball for 2.6b1, compiled in on a macbook pro (10.5.3) and tried the clustered server sample but didn't get very far.. are you sure it's in there? :P I'm probably missing something here..

Do a pycon talk! I'd definitely be interested.

Great work.
