py2exe with multiprocessing fails to run the processes
You need a call to multiprocessing.freeze_support() when packaging a Python script into an executable for use on Windows. This call should come just after if __name__ == '__main__': before actually calling main()

You can use cxfreeze: http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/
Simply, easy, good, and actualized.
I hope this helped you.

Namely, you will need to call multiprocessing.freeze_support() right after your call to main:
import multiprocessingif __name__ == '__main__': multiprocessing.freeze_support()
