Please keep this module independent from the outside code, so that it can be reused in other applications.

If you are going to use it, you should wrap your program's main file in this:

import workprover.dumbsolver

workprover.dumbsolver.libcrypto = ...

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import multiprocessing

    multiprocessing.freeze_support()

    ...

See the multiprocessing module documentation for explaination.
