Updating multiprocessing.set_start_method() function calls #28

Closed ethanumn closed 2 years ago

ethanumn commented 2 years ago

Obtaining error on MacOS from the call multiprocessing.set_start_method() stating that the context has already been set.

Solution is to add the argument force=True to the multiprocessing.set_start_method().

Added condition to only call multiprocessing.set_start_method() when the OS is MacOS.

Verified everything still works properly on MacOS and Linux.
