@Mariatta, I noticed you added the backport labels to this a while back. Anything I can do to move this along? |

I removed the " needs backport to 3.6" label, the 3.6 branch no longer accept bugfixes (only security fixes are accepted): https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches |

@vstinner, anything I ought to do to get this in to 3.7+? This is an outstanding problem in those releases. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks fair to me. I'm sorry not noticing your (other) PR before.

This PR adds a note to the
multiprocessingmodule's documentation about using "frozen" executables with the'spawn'and'forkserver'start methods.This patch simply documents that this should be avoided. I hope it can be applied to the docs for previous Python versions as well (at least 3.7?), as all versions since 3.4 suffer from the issue?
I previously proposed a patch for the problem in PR #5195, but I imagine that will need to be revised and updated for 3.8.
