[issue25169] multiprocess documentation

[Davin Potts]

Davin Potts added the comment:

Good catch and agreed this should be cleaned up.

Patch looks good to me and given its nature is probably all we need although 
it's probably worth combining this minor documentation update so that it gets 
applied with some other documentation patch(es) at the same time.

Here's a quick minor patch to fix, works on a re-compiled doc.

John Taylor added the comment:

To follow up on my previous message, I looked at the documentation for 
os.getppid().

It states:

Changed in version 3.2: Added support for Windows.

[issue25169] multiprocess documentation

[John Taylor]

New submission from John Taylor:

In the Windows Help File for Python 3.5:

17.2 multiprocessing
17.2.1.1 The Process class
2nd code example: "To show the individual process IDs involved, here is an 
expanded example"

def info(title):
print(title)
print('module name:', __name__)
if hasattr(os, 'getppid'):  # only available on Unix
print('parent process:', os.getppid())
print('process id:', os.getpid())

os.getppid() is now available on Windows, so you can remove the if statement.
