LOL so by a random chance I picked probably the one thing that didn’t work!

After reading various links it seems that the multiprocessing library will not be supported (but now at least I have learnt to google for the Jython version of things).

I also just saw [Gateway Script to monitor directory for new files](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/gateway-script-to-monitor-directory-for-new-files/16124/22) which has examples that seem to be using Java based concurrency, so I just need to change my approach
