 File "D:\Installed\pyenv-win\pyenv-win\versions\3.12.7\Lib\multiprocessing\spawn.py", line 140, in _check_not_importing_main
    raise RuntimeError('''
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.

        To fix this issue, refer to the "Safe importing of main module"
        section in https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html

I am facing this error too while running it in my IDE but when I run it in a python shell it works fine.

can you paste your code snippet? sometimes this error happens because of not wrapping

if __name__ == '__main__':
