Multiprocessing docs contain examples, that are not valid py3k code,
mostly because of print used as a statement. Example (taken from
multiprocessing.rst):
from multiprocessing import Process
def f(name):
 print 'hello', name
if __name__ == '__main__':
 p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
 p.start()
 p.join()
If no one is working on this already, than I'll start fixing this and
will present a patch in 2 or 3 days.

If you're willing to make the patch - I can review and submit. I 
appreciate it

So, after 5 days of silence I present my current status on the patch.
This patch fixes Doc/includes/mp_*.py examples, except for the fact that
I couldn't make mp_distributing.py work, but I'm still working on this
issue.

And this patch is for Doc/library/multiprocessing.rst. Still, there are
lot of issues, and as you none of you (Jesse or Richard) answered my
email, I'll post them tomorrow here. Right now, the patch. :)

Thanks - sorry I didn't reply to the mail yet, had to deal with some 
other stuff first, I should be freed up tonight

OK, then ignore the previous email, I'll send you a new one, with
updated questions.

Here is the updated version of multiprocessing.rst patch. Not much has
changes, as you can see (if you've seen the previous version, of course
;) ).
I have only one question left about multiprocessing.rst, it's about
'allow_connection_pickling' function -- should documentation cover this
function or just leave it as it is?
The only issue I still have is mp_distributing.py example, which is not
properly documented.
Jesse, I think you should review both patches and leave this issue open
until mp_distributing.py is documented. If you have any questions --
ping me on #python-dev.

btw, some of the docstrings are also outdated, e.g. Pool.imap, Pool.map,
etc. Should I handle this one too?

that's your call Andrii

OK, I'll work on this too. :) Patch should be ready by Monday.

The docstrings are now fixed too.
