   Bases: :py:obj:`multiprocessing.pool.Pool`


   Multiprocessing process pool with enhanced Windows compatibility

   Initialize a process pool.

   Add a thin layer on top of the `multiprocessing.Pool` that, on Windows, passes
   initialization code to workers via a pickle file rather than directly. This is
   done to avoid a performance issue that exists on Windows. Please, also see the
   discussion [1_].
