import multiprocessing as mp

condition = mp.Condition()

with condition:
    condition.notify(2) #Docs show notify(n=1)
#TypeError: notify() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

#Replacing the call with condition.notify(2):
#TypeError: notify() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n'


# Docs show signature: def notify(self, n=1)
# But found this debugging:
 
# multiprocessing/synchronize.py

# line 271:     def notify(self): #<-- ¿There is no n paramater?

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.
