This is a working code, streamlined, but it is where the problem is:

from multiprocessing import * 

dicts = 0
print('global ', dicts)

class WebServer():
	
	def set_sessionInfo(self):
		global dicts
		dicts = dicts + 1
	
	def get_sessionInfo(self):
		return dicts	

	def handle_connection(self):
		self.set_sessionInfo()
	
	def serve_forever(self):
		for x in range(10):
			p = Process(target=self.handle_connection)
			p.start()
			print(self.get_sessionInfo())
			
ws = WebServer()
ws.serve_forever()
print(dicts)
