multiprocessing.Process not working properly

Question

from multiprocessing import Process
import sys

def f(name):
    print('hello', name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()
    print(p,type(p))

This program isn't executing properly on my pc...But it works fine using online compiler

====================== RESTART: E:\Python\py_prac_9.py ======================
<Process(Process-1, stopped[1])> <class 'multiprocessing.context.Process'>
>>>

Expected OUTPUT:

====================== RESTART: E:\Python\py_prac_9.py ======================
hello bob
<Process(Process-1, stopped[1])> <class 'multiprocessing.context.Process'>
>>>

I'm using windows 8.1 with 3.5.4 python version...

Environmental Variables:

PATH:
C:\Users\Madhu G\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\;
C:\Users\Madhu G\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Lib\site-packages\;
C:\Users\Madhu G\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts\;

Please suggest me the solution, even the daemon processes are not executing proper...Do I need to make any changes in my pc..

Works fine on my PC (Windows 7) with both Python 2.7.12 and 3.5.2. How are you executing the script? — martineau, Nov 06 '16 at 20:14

It seems that you are working with Python under Windows. If you are starting the script via IDLE, it won't give you the expected output.

Try starting it via the command line.
