*initializer* is not ``None`` then each worker process will call
``initializer(*initargs)`` when it starts.
*maxtasksperchild* is the number of tasks a worker process can complete
before it will exit and be replaced with a fresh worker process, to enable
unused resources to be freed. The default *maxtasksperchild* is None, which
means worker processes will live as long as the pool.

*maxtasksperchild* is the number of tasks a worker process can complete
before it will exit and be replaced with a fresh worker process, to enable
unused resources to be freed. The default *maxtasksperchild* is None, which
means worker processes will live as long as the pool.
.. note::
Worker processes within a :class:`Pool` typically live for the complete
duration of the Pool's work queue. A frequent pattern found in other
systems (such as Apache, mod_wsgi, etc) to free resources held by
workers is to allow a worker within a pool to complete only a set
amount of work before being exiting, being cleaned up and a new
process spawned to replace the old one. The *maxtasksperchild*
argument to the :class:`Pool` exposes this ability to the end user.
