The python multiprocessing module is universal and may be useful for you. For further reading, check out this link.

Also, Cygwin recreated it, but I wouldn't recommend it simply because of how difficult it is to implement, however, if you wish to learn about it, here is the link.

  • but it doesn't know anything about fork. The error in log says. pid = os.fork() AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'fork' – Bilal Ahmad Jul 29 '18 at 14:53
