Per https://bugs.python.org/issue33725, on macOS the default behavior of the multiprocessing module is spawn instead of fork, which has been deemed unsafe in newer macOS versions. As a result, the way multiprocessing was implemented in pneumatic no longer works; instead, the uploader loops.
The benefit of multiprocessing as originally used is questionable since uploads are bound by network capability. At most, it just queues up files faster. Needs research.
