Based on the GitHub issues I've found, I can provide some context about multiprocessing in Prefect: 1. Currently, there isn't a dedicated

prefect-multiprocess

package. However, there are ongoing discussions and development efforts around better multiprocessing support in Prefect. 2. Key points about multiprocessing in Prefect: - There's an open feature request (Issue #12075) to implement a multiprocessing-based TaskRunner - There are some known challenges when using multiprocessing with Prefect tasks: - Differences in multiprocessing spawn methods depending on execution environment - Pickling issues with certain types of objects - Potential deadlocks in certain scenarios 3. If you're looking to use multiprocessing with Prefect currently, you can: - Use

concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor

within tasks - Be careful with the multiprocessing start method (fork vs. spawn) - Be aware of pickling limitations, especially with objects like file handles Would you like me to dive deeper into any specific aspect of multiprocessing with Prefect? For example: - How to properly implement multiprocessing in tasks - Best practices for avoiding common pitfalls - Specific use cases you're trying to address
