I am creating executable of my Python app using PyInstaller. I am not using onefile mode but still I see two processes in ps output. Following is an output.

root@my-vm test]# ps aux | grep mytest
mytest 1482 0.0 0.0 8648 620 ? Ss 02:22 0:00 /usr/bin/mytest
mytest 1485 21.0 0.4 1511552 36080 ? Sl 02:22 0:00 /usr/bin/mytest

OS: CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 - 64 Bit
PyInstaller Version: 3.5
Python: 3.6.8

Command: python3 -m PyInstaller --clean -y --distpath /tmp/mytest --key testkey test.spec

Anyone has got idea ?
