It is my understanding that Python 2.6+ comes out of the box with multiprocessing. However, I am receiving an ImportError: No module named _multiprocessing called from usr/local/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/__init__.py, line 83. although usr/local/lib/python2.6/ contains several _module files, _multiprocessing is not one of them.
What could cause this error on python 2.6?
I am running python on gcc3.4.6 via Interix3.5 on Windows XP SP3
