SubprocessTransport.get_pipe_transport returns a "transport for the communication pipe corresponding to the integer file descriptor fd".
Below that, it currently says fd 0 is readable and fd 1 and 2 are writable.
But since it is referring to the subprocess' file descriptors from the perspective of the parent process, I believe fd 0 should be writable while fd 1 and 2 are readable. In other words, the parent process can write to the subprocess' stdin and read from its stdout and stderr.
Maybe I have completely misunderstood this method, but I have confirmed that get_pipe_transport(0) indeed returns a writable transport.
So unless I'm mistaken, I think the word "readable" should be changed to "writable" and vice-versa in the SubprocessTransport.get_pipe_transport documentation.
