Document mentions AsyncResult but there is no such class. http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult You can check it by simply running: python -c 'from multiprocessing.pool import AsyncResult' I think it means ApplyResult so I made a patch (attached). Note that there managers.py also uses name 'AsyncResult': % hg grep AsyncResult Doc/library/multiprocessing.rst:83232:.. class:: AsyncResult Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039: 'apply_async': 'AsyncResult', Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039: 'map_async': 'AsyncResult', Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039: 'starmap_async': 'AsyncResult', Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py:81039:SyncManager.register('AsyncResult', create_method=False) Probably renaming them would be better?

It might be simplest to make the implementation match the docs by making AsyncResult an alias for ApplyResult.

The documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing.pool says that apply_async is "A variant of the apply() method which returns a result object." You should replace "a result object" with "a AsyncResult/ApplyResult object" and a link to https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult
