I'm trying to run a simple ODE system with different values of a parameter, using Assimulo to call SUNDIAL's CVode. As a case study, I wrote these functions and solved the problem in parallel successfully:
from assimulo.solvers import CVode
from assimulo.problem import Explicit_Problem
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pathos.pools import ParallelPool
def linear_ode(time, y, param):
    dy_dt = -param * y
    return dy_dt
def solve_ode(param, t_final=20):
    y_zero = 5
    problem = Explicit_Problem(lambda time, x: linear_ode(time, x, param),
                               y_zero, 0)
    solver = CVode(problem)
    t_vals, y_vals = solver.simulate(t_final)
    return t_vals, y_vals
if __name__ == '__main__':
    # ---------- Parallel solution
    cts = (0.1, 0.2, 0.3)
    pool = ParallelPool(4)
    results = pool.map(solve_ode, cts)
    # Plot
    fig_par, ax_par = plt.subplots()
    for result in results:
        t_prof, y_prof = result
        ax_par.plot(t_prof, y_prof)
which yields
Then, I organized the functions above into a class:
class ODETest:
    def __init__(self, y_zero, t_final):
        self.y_zero = y_zero
        self.t_final = t_final
    def linear_ode(self, time, y, param):
        dy_dt = -param * y
        return dy_dt
    def solve_ode(self, param):
        problem = Explicit_Problem(lambda time, x: self.linear_ode(time, x, param),
                                   self.y_zero, 0)
        solver = CVode(problem)
        t_vals, y_vals = solver.simulate(self.t_final)
        return t_vals, y_vals
Finally, I created an instance and passed the method of interest (solve_ode) to a new ParallelPool instance:
# ---------- Parallel solution with class
instance = ODETest(y_zero=5, t_final=20)
pool_2 = ParallelPool(4)
pool_2.map(instance.solve_ode, cts)
This time, the following error appears:
A fatal error has occured during the function execution
Traceback (most recent call last):

I've seen some related errors regarding dill and that KeyError but I cannot see how to solve my problem.
