I am little confused with multiprocessing documentation since it does not contain enough examples.

Parallel computing is not simple by design so documentation can be little improved to make it simpler. No pattern to use pool with classes. No pattern to exchange objects between processes. Understanding usage of Queue and SimpleQueue or JoinableQueue is not very clear.

Current documentation in majority is good reference with very rare examples / patterns.

This is a specific suggestion that should be included / addressed as part of issue23100.

Should I add this suggestion to open before issue?

I started doing multiprocessing code in Python so I can have more suggestions since I found that documentation can be improved I will report specific problem.
