Note that on Windows and macOS, the entry point guard may be necessary as the
example would otherwise cause a :exc:`RuntimeError`. For more details, see the
`Safe importing of main module
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#the-spawn-and-forkserver-start-methods>`_.
Note that the entry point guard (``if __name__ == '__main__'``)
is required for option 3 due to the peculiarities of :mod:`multiprocessing`,
which is used by :class:`~concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
See :ref:`Safe importing of main module <multiprocessing-safe-main-import>`.

This method returns a :class:`asyncio.Future` object.
