Python Multiprocessing Example Not Printing

I have a very simple multiprocessing example that I found online (shown below). For some reason, when I execute it in Spyder, it doesn't print anything out at all. It doesn't hang either. I'm using Python 3.x. Does anyone have any idea why?

from multiprocessing import Process

def print_func(continent='Asia'):
    print('The name of continent is : ', continent)

if __name__ == "__main__":  # confirms that the code is under main function
    names = ['America', 'Europe', 'Africa']
    procs = []
    proc = Process(target=print_func)  # instantiating without any argument
    procs.append(proc)
    proc.start()

    # instantiating process with arguments
    for name in names:
        # print(name)
        proc = Process(target=print_func, args=(name,))
        procs.append(proc)
        proc.start()

    # complete the processes
    for proc in procs:
        proc.join()

When you in threads or other process you will not get its stdout, so if you want to log you better use python logging documentation link: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html

you can also check this for more solutions https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2015/redirecting-all-kinds-of-stdout-in-python/
