It is my understanding that Python 2.6+ comes out of the box with multiprocessing. However, I am receiving an ImportError: No module named _multiprocessing called from usr/local/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/__init__.py, line 83. although usr/local/lib/python2.6/ contains several _module files, _multiprocessing is not one of them.

What could cause this error on python 2.6?

I am running python on gcc3.4.6 via Interix3.5 on Windows XP SP3

  • Why are use using such old versions of Python and GCC? The bug might be fixed in a more recent version. – Kijewski Mar 27 '13 at 21:46
  • The versions are limited by what has been successfully ported to Interix3.5 – Ocasta Eshu Mar 27 '13 at 21:46
  • I can tell you that _multiprocessing in an intrinsic of Python (located at /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_multiprocessing.so in my case). Are you sure that your Python version is compiled with multiprocessing capabilities? – Kijewski Mar 27 '13 at 21:50
  • I'm gussing that it must be by virtue of the fact that the directory /python2.6/multiprocessing/ exists. But that may be a faulty assumption. I'll examine further, thank you. – Ocasta Eshu Mar 27 '13 at 22:03
  • Did you get the same error with v2.7 as well? – WilliamKF Apr 01 '13 at 00:57
