Research direction

Start by reproducing the assertion when a PoolWorker tries to create child processes, then compare the behavior with Python's standard multiprocessing package and its Windows PickleError. The issue does not name a source file, test, or defined acceptance criteria; done would require an agreed design and working cross-platform behavior.

Description

Hello, I m wondering if there is a chance to be able to run a few processes inside PoolWorker, so far it was failing because of AssertionError: daemonic processes are not allowed to have children I found a couple of workarounds for standard multiprocessing package, but it usually fails on Windows with some PickleError message... Do you have any suggestion?
