Davin Potts added the comment: Attached is a proposed patch for the 2.7 branch.
It provides 2 changes to the documentation: 1) Moves the warning text block regarding synchronization functionality not necessarily being available on all systems to the "Synchronization between processes" section (Section 16.6.1.3 in the 2.7 docs). 2) Adds a paragraph introducing (in the affirmative tone) a good/common practice as shown in a working example to drive home the key point about importability by subprocesses. The original example of what not to do has been preserved by moving it to the "Using a pool of workers" section (Section 16.6.1.5 in the 2.7 docs). Note that this patch does not attempt to resolve the issue of :class:`Pool` not being resolved by Sphinx to properly point at the multiprocessing.pool.Pool class description. This issue appears addressed in the 3.4 docs but not in some other branches. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37290/multiprocessing_27.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22952> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
