issue with multiprocessing on MacOS with Python3.8 #33

I faced the problem running comb-p from Python3.8 on OSX. Python3.8 on OSX uses by default "spawn" start method for new processes that provides error. The workaround is to call set_start_methos with "fork" and "force" arguments: set_start_method("fork", force=True). It helped me to resolve the issue.
