Multiprocessing doesn't seem to work?

[t4keheart]

In your modules, you call the function beginSending() and in the other beginRec().
Don't do this. Remove the call from both modules or use the boilerpate code:

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I had the 'beginRec()' and 'beginSending()' calls at the bottom from when I was creating each module, and running the modules themselves 'as main' for testing... I guess I just never removed them... but I didn't think it would cause any harm. I will remove them and see what happens.

I created a simple, reproducible test to test out the multiprocessing implementation, and it works as expected:

main.py

from func1 import runMe
from func2 import runMeToo
import multiprocessing

def func1():
    runMe()

def func2():
    runMeToo()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    first = multiprocessing.Process(name='first', target=func1)
    second = multiprocessing.Process(name='second', target=func2)
    first.start()
    second.start()

func1

import time

def runMe():
    while True:
        print("function 1!")
        time.sleep(1)
        

func2

import time

def runMeToo():
   while True:
        print("function 2!")
        time.sleep(.5)

output:

> function 1!
> function 2!
> function 2!
> function 1!
... etc.

However, Ideally I would like a solution that simply kicks off both 'processes' in completely separate terminal shells. Each of my modules produce output that is important, but unrelated to the other module's function, so I would like to keep their outputs separated amongst two different terminal windows. How can I code something to simple kick off each module independently in seperate terminals?
