multiprocessing python: using input detection from one function in another

Question

I am trying to get the input from one function while running another simultaneously that can then utilise that input. I would like the input to be a global variable so it can be utilised by several functions at the same time. I know this works in multithreading but I CAN NOT use multithreading for other reasons. I tried the code below but I get the following error...

import time

user = ""

def printy(choice):
    while True:
        print(choice)
        time.sleep(1)

def inputy():
    global user
    while True:
        user = input("input:  ")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p1 = m.Process(target=printy, args=[user, ])
    p2 = m.Process(target=inputy)
    p1.start()
    p2.start()

ERROR I GET:
