[issue9600] multiprocessing Pool instantiation crashes on 64 bit 2.6.6rc1 under Windows 7

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org> added the comment:

I should correct myself. As seen on the 2.6 Win7 buildbot[0], test_multiprocessing is skipped there likely due to the "from ._multiprocessing..." ImportError. I kind of remember this now but didn't want to backport the fix to release26-maint since it was frozen, and this didn't appear to be an actual bug in the installed version. As said before, I'll investigate tomorrow.
