New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer....@gmail.com>:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#address-formats currently states > An 'AF_PIPE' address is a string of the form r'\.\pipe{PipeName}'. To use > Client() to connect to a named pipe on a remote computer called ServerName > one should use an address of the form r'\ServerName\pipe{PipeName}' instead. which suggests that if the pipe is named "foo", the string should be r'\.\pipe{foo}' (especially given that the other substituted string, ServerName, is given in italics... but actually the correct format is r'\.\pipe\foo'. Hence I would suggest fixing the markup to give name formats as r'\.pipe\PipeName' where PipeName, is in italics, like ServerName. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 394020 nosy: Antony.Lee, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: multiprocessing AF_PIPE name format is slightly confusing in the docs _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44189> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
