IronPython是否支持多处理？

Question

Using IronPython 2.7 ( IronPython 2.7 2.7.5.0 on .NET 4.0.30319.42000 ), I have a script which includes from multiprocessing import Pool . Trying to run it, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "find_compressed.concurrent.py", line 67, in <module>
  File "find_compressed.concurrent.py", line 59, in main
  File "IronPython 2.7\Lib\multiprocessing\__init__.py", line 236, in Pool
  File "IronPython 2.7\Lib\multiprocessing\pool.py", line 115, in __init__
  File "IronPython 2.7\Lib\multiprocessing\pool.py", line 207, in _setup_queues
  File "IronPython 2.7\Lib\multiprocessing\queues.py", line 46, in <module>
ImportError: No module named _multiprocessing

Is it possible to use the multiprocessing module in IronPython? If not, is there another way to get this functionality?

Answer 1

According to this e-mail there is no support of Multiprocessing in IronPython.

But such module was created to workaround the GIL in Python, and IronPython don't have one, so maybe there are other ways, this other e-mail suggests using .NET's ThreadPools .
