New submission from Anthony Flury <anthony.fl...@btinternet.com>:
On the Multi-processing page <https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html> (just above the reference section) there is a warning that the examples wont work from the interpreter. This is not entirely accurate in that the examples do work, in the interpreter within Linux (and Mac OS I think), where the O/S supports processes being forked. In fact it is only in Windows, where a brand new process needs to be started and the source is effectively re-imported is there an issue running the examples in the interpreter. Should the documentation make this clearer ? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 327046 nosy: anthony-flury, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Multi-processing example inaccurate warning versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34891> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
