Dear Python documentation team,

on page

http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html

in chapter  "16.6.1.1. The Process class" there is a obvious typo inside 
the second code example in line 7

from  multiprocessing  import  Process
import  os

def  info(title):
     print  title
     print  'module name:',  __name__
     print  'parent process:',  os.getppid() <-- it means os.getpid()
     print  'process id:',  os.getpid()

def  f(name):
     info('function f')
     print  'hello',  name

if  __name__  ==  '__main__':
     info('main line')
     p  =  Process(target=f,  args=('bob',))
     p.start()
     p.join()

Best wishes from Germany

Enjoy the weekend

Sebastian
