In the same python conda environment, line 28 of the below code (basically copied from one of your example notebooks) results in the file restarting multiple times and then eventually hitting an error when I use a python file rather than in a Jupyter notebook, where it does work. I am on a Mac if this matters. I have tried on two different computers and the problem persists.
The error goes down to symmer/operators/independent_op.py, line 238, in update_sectorwith mp.Pool(mp.cpu_count()) as pool:
Which then raises an issue into the multiprocessing module, ultimately leading to a RuntimeError and then An attempt has been made to start a new process before the current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.
