Troubleshooting

MacOS multiprocessing nightmare fuel

Cupertino has a gift for us: somehow multiprocessing on MacOS in some specific astral configurations that I have yet to fully understand, it will crash with the following error:

The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec().
Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug.

Apparently, this can be easily fixed by changing the way multiprocessing spawns processes, that is:

import platform, multiprocessing

if platform.system() == "Darwin":
    multiprocessing.set_start_method('spawn')

The aforementioned solution was proposed on this StackOverflow question.
