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.

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.

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

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.
