Pickling error attempting to create 'multiprocxxx' Actor system about thespian HOT 5 CLOSED

Okay, so the attached mods seem to fix this for Python 2.7+Windows, but not sure what the broader implications might be. The mods allow the context to be passed around as a default of None if version 3.4 of multiprocessing is not found (instead of a default reference to the multiprocessing module itself), avoiding the pickling error. Users of the context test for the default and use the multiprocessing module directly if required...

Thanks for the update! Most of the recent Windows work has been done using 3.5 (python version validation testing normally happens under linux), so it's been a while since I validated the combo of Windows and 2.7 and it looks like a compatibility issue crept in.

Please give me a day or so to run validation of your fix across the other environments, and then I can generate a bugfix release. In the meantime, I'd love to have you submit your fix as a pull request so you can get proper attribution.

Hope it helps! I'm not too handy with github, so not sure I can master a pull request, but if the mods work for you of course you can incorporate them. Cheers

The mods do work for me as well and tested out on all the environments, so I'll be releasing this shortly. Thanks again for your contribution!

Fixed in Release 3.6.1 (https://github.com/godaddy/Thespian/releases/tag/thespian-3.6.1)
