pandarallel: parallel_apply results in EOFError when run from Pycharm, works fine from Jupyter Notebook

I was trying to parallelise my code with pandarallel package in the following way:

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.cluster import SpectralClustering
from pandarallel import pandarallel
import numpy as np

ex = {'measurement_id': {0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1, 5: 1, 6: 1, 7: 1, 8: 1, 9: 1, 10: 1, 11: 1, 12: 1, 13: 1, 14: 1, 15: 1, 16: 1, 17: 1, 18: 1, 19: 1}, 'time': {0: 30000, 1: 30000, 2: 30000, 3: 30000, 4: 30000, 5: 30000, 6: 30000, 7: 30000, 8: 30000, 9: 30000, 10: 30100, 11: 30100, 12: 30100, 13: 30100, 14: 30100, 15: 30100, 16: 30100, 17: 30100, 18: 30100, 19: 30100}, 'group': {0: '0', 1: '0', 2: '0', 3: '0', 4: '0', 5: '0', 6: '0', 7: '0', 8: '0', 9: '0', 10: '0', 11: '0', 12: '0', 13: '0', 14: '0', 15: '0', 16: '0', 17: '0', 18: '0', 19: '0'}, 'object': {0: 'obj1', 1: 'obj10', 2: 'obj2', 3: 'obj3', 4: 'obj4', 5: 'obj5', 6: 'obj6', 7: 'obj7', 8: 'obj8', 9: 'obj9', 10: 'obj1', 11: 'obj10', 12: 'obj2', 13: 'obj3', 14: 'obj4', 15: 'obj5', 16: 'obj6', 17: 'obj7', 18: 'obj8', 19: 'obj9'}, 'x': {0: 55.507999420166016, 1: 49.67399978637695, 2: 61.9640007019043, 3: 67.98300170898438, 4: 49.43199920654297, 5: 40.34000015258789, 6: 69.50399780273438, 7: 49.65800094604492, 8: 68.48200225830078, 9: 37.87900161743164, 10: 55.595001220703125, 11: 49.52399826049805, 12: 61.92499923706055, 13: 67.91799926757812, 14: 49.30099868774414, 15: 40.141998291015625, 16: 69.49299621582031, 17: 49.775001525878906, 18: 68.4010009765625, 19: 37.77899932861328}}

ex = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(ex).set_index(['measurement_id', 'time', 'group'])
    
def cluster(x, index):
    x = np.asarray(x)[:, np.newaxis]
    
    clustering = SpectralClustering(n_clusters = 3, random_state = 42, gamma = 1 / 50).fit(x)
    return pd.Series(clustering.labels_ + 1, index = index)
    
pandarallel.initialize(nb_workers=2, progress_bar=True)
ex \
    .groupby(['measurement_id', 'time', 'group']) \
    .parallel_apply(lambda x: cluster(x['x'], x['object']))

However, when I’m running this on Pycharm I get the following error:

  File "/home/kuba/anaconda3/envs/test_env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 3331, in run_code

  File "/home/kuba/anaconda3/envs/test_env/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/connection.py", line 383, in _recv
    raise EOFError
EOFError

I thought that this is maybe due to some incompatibility with the latest pandas or python release and tried to recreate the issue with different environment on Jupyter Notebook. It worked well so I tested the same environment on Jupyter notebook - it worked fine. I made sure that I’m running the same environment with

import sys
print(sys.executable)

and this is indeed a case. So the only difference seems to that I use PyCharm instead of Jupyter Notebook. My environment is set up with Python 3.7.6 and pandas 1.0.1.
