Recent addition breaks library on Google App Engine. #149
Description
The recent addition of a use of multiprocessing has broken this on Google App Engine (as it doesn't support mp).
Upon execution (truncated):
[exec] File "/path-to-packages/google/gax/__init__.py", line 35, in <module>
[exec] import multiprocessing as mp
[exec] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/__init__.py", line 65, in <module>
[exec] from multiprocessing.util import SUBDEBUG, SUBWARNING
[exec] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/util.py", line 41, in <module>
[exec] from subprocess import _args_from_interpreter_flags
[exec] ImportError: cannot import name _args_from_interpreter_flag
Obviously this is quite the inconvenience for GCP customers who want to use the GAX backend for Google's APIs.

A gist about how to address this problem (kind of hack): https://github.com/proxy/gist.github.com/nilleb/419122f2f6f1228650dd2dccbd01c5af

@jstephenson we're looking into this. As a heads up, even if you get gax to work, grpc-based APIs will not work on App Engine standard right now.

@nilleb grpc isn't yet supported on App Engine standard.
