   in multiprocessing doc https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/multiprocessing.html

   under 17.2.2.7.2. Using a remote manager, 
   >>> from multiprocessing.managers import BaseManager
   >>> import queue
   >>> queue = queue.Queue()
   >>> class QueueManager(BaseManager): pass
   >>> QueueManager.register('get_queue', callable=lambda:queue)
   >>> m = QueueManager(address=('', 50000), authkey=b'abracadabra')
   >>> s = m.get_server()
   >>> s.serve_forever()
   

   queue is used as both module name and variable name, should this be avoided?

   The example itself works fine, but I agree that it would be better to use a better name. We could replace ('foo.bar.org', 50000) in the following examples with ('', 50000) too.

   Would you like to send a PR? The documentation file is located at Doc/library/multiprocessing.rst.

   Hi Berker,
   I didn't update "following examples with ('', 50000) too." because this is different than the previous one, this is client connecting to server, so hostname cannot be empty string.
