[issue36586] multiprocessing.Queue.close doesn't behave as documented

[Thomas Grainger]

Thomas Grainger <tagrain at gmail.com> added the comment:

Should the docs be:

> Indicate that no more data will be put on or got from this queue by the current process. The background thread will quit once it has flushed all buffered data to the pipe. This is called automatically when the queue is garbage collected.

Or should the Queue allow closing only one direction of the bidirectional channel?
