multiprocessing circular import

Question

I have been running multiprocessing trying to learn the methods for days. I follow the instructions and follow the code. I keep running into a circular import error. I believe it may be something to do with the filling of python or visual studio like a path issue. but I'm not sure.

import time
import multiprocessing


start = time.perf_counter()

def do_something():
    print('Sleeping 1 second...')
    time.sleep(1)
    print('Done Sleeping...')

p1 = multiprocessing.Process(target= do_something)
p1 = multiprocessing.Process(target= do_something)

p1.start()
p2.start()

finish = time.perf_counter

print(f'Finsihed in{round(finish-start, 2)} second(s)')
