PyTorch：The “freeze_support()” line can be omitted if the program is not going to be frozen

在windows上运行pytorch时，稍不注意就会遇到freeze_support()的错误。解决这种错误只要把代码放到if name == “main”: 中运行就可以了。就忍不住来深究下这个问题。

这是一个关于windows上多进程实现的恩特。在windows上，子进程会自动import启动它的这个文件，而在import的时候是会自动执行这些语句的。如果不加__main__限制的化，就会无限递归创建子进程，进而报错。于是import的时候使用 name == “main” 保护起来就可以了。

出现错误：

RuntimeError: 
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
        current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes 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 an executable.

解决方案：

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # 代码

通过上述方式实验完美解决，这里说下我的实验版本

In [1]: import torch

In [2]: import torchvision

In [3]: torch.version
Out[3]: ‘1.0.1’

In [4]: torchvision.version
Out[4]: ‘0.2.2’
