pydev debugger performing a KeyboardInterrupt while debugging program (Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs)

Hello,

I'm trying to debug code inside a socket connection which is running within a multiprocessing process in Python. The debugger abruptly exits the program after a few seconds performing a KeyboardInterrupt and stopping the process.

The error log is attached below. I started getting the error after changing the project interpreter in the settings. I have tried many proposed solutions to this including removing all breakpoints, deleting the .idea directory and reopening to project to updating PyCharm. None of that has worked.

I'm running PyCharm 2017.3.3. Could you please let me know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance
