How to mimic multiprocessing.Process

[TheCodeSummoner]

Question:

How to recreate the following in pathos?

from multiprocessing import Process

def foo():
    while True:
        print("Foo-ing")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Process(target=foo).start()

I am aware of multiprocess.dummy.Process, however, I am unsure if it's any different from threading.Thread as it derives from it, and I would like to run a process rather than a thread.

The application I am developing will be running multiple, distinct functionalities, so as far as I understand having a proper Process rather than a Thread is crucial. Does pathos provide a tool to run an infinite process like that?

Either of these should be what you want:

>>> import pathos
>>> pathos.helpers.mp.Process
<class 'multiprocess.process.Process'>
>>> import multiprocess as mp
>>> mp.Process is pathos.helpers.mp.Process
True
>>>
