poolsize parameter of the newkeys function causes an error. #220
Description
When I try to run rsa.newkeys(3072), it works fine without any errors. If I run rsa.newkeys(3072, poolsize=2), then it produces a very long error message, the last part of it being this:
File "C:\Users\BWP09\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\multiprocessing\spawn.py", line 138, 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.
