Not working on Windows

[Cristiano Coelho]

As usual, multiprocessing and Windows do not work well together. However, it might be easy to fix in this case. I would recommend allowing for a non parallel option to make running on Windows easier.

See the stack trace below:

RuntimeError:

            has finished its bootstrapping phase.

            This probably means that you are on Windows and you have
            forgotten to use the proper idiom in the main module:

                if __name__ == '__main__':
                    freeze_support()
                    ...

            The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
            is not going to be frozen to produce a Windows executable.

Thanks @cristianocca for raising the issue. It's true I was testing it only on Linux and Mac. I'll sit on it during the weekend and try to fix this issue.

Hi @xep624, this issue still persists. would there be an update to fix the same ?
