multiprocessing process object hangs on join

[Josh Dempster]

I'm running Enthought 64-bit (python 2.7) on OS-X and trying to use multiprocessing. The interpreter keeps hanging when I tell a process to join. This is true even for the very simple examples provided in the documentation. For example:

   import multiprocessing as mp

   def f(x):
        print x*x

   p=mp.Process(target=f,args=(2,))
   p.start()
   p.join()

The start method works fine, but join hangs with no cpu usage (and no keyboard interrupt!). I get the same problem whether I use queues or pools (for pools, it hangs on map or async_apply).

Thanks for the help!

-Josh

Exactly what version of EPD64 did you install? I cannot replicate the
problem with EPD64 7.3-2.

It's 7.3, but I'm not sure how to check the exact version.

The EPD_README.txt file will state it.
