with condition:

#TypeError: notify() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
#Replacing the call with condition.notify(2):

Sorry for the typo, I meant:
#Replacing the call with condition.notify(n=2):
#TypeError: notify() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n'

Looks like, despite what the multiprocessing.Condition docs say (claiming it's an alias for threading.Condition), at least in Python 3.5, it's a completely separate animal from multiprocessing.synchronize, and the notify method on it doesn't take any parameters.
Seems like an obvious thing to fix; the parameter is defaulted anyway, so existing code should continue to work, and it makes multiprocessing swap in for threading more seamlessly.
