small documentation bug in multiprocessing
Hello, I was reading the documentation at: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing I came across a bug where the sample code doesn't run: Search for "getppid", which should be changed to "getpid". Regards, Matt

Hi Matt, Thanks for the report. getppid() is certainly the correct function to call here. But it is not available on Windows, so I've now made the call conditional in the example. cheers, Georg
Hi Georg,
I see I should have read the example more closely on what it was trying to
show. Thank you for the clarification.
Kind regards,
Matt
