__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__()

[Frank Schima]

Hi all,


Another thread mentioned pydoc, so I decided to look at it and ran  
'pydoc modules'. Although it ran, it first returned a very strange  
error (a number of times):

The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation  
functionality safely. You MUST exec().
Break on  
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ 
() to debug.

I've seen this before when I run tkinter based python apps. But  
everything seems to work just fine.

What is causing this error? Is it a problem? Can it be removed/fixed  
somehow?


Thanks!
