AttributeError: 'ParameterServer' object has no attribute 'pc'

When a process is created, are the constructor attributes not carried over? Why does this issue not occur with self.cache?

Process Process-1:1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Fixed by instantiating self.pc before ps.listen() so that pc is added to ParameterServer attributes and so part of copied memory in new processes
