According to the multiprocessing/process.py file for Python 3.10.12:

class BaseProcess(object):
    '''
    Process objects represent activity that is run in a separate process

    The class is analogous to `threading.Thread`
    '''
    def _Popen(self):
        raise NotImplementedError

    def __init__(self, group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={},
                 *, daemon=None):
        assert group is None, 'group argument must be None for now'
        count = next(_process_counter)
        self._identity = _current_process._identity + (count,)
        self._config = _current_process._config.copy()
        self._parent_pid = os.getpid()
        self._parent_name = _current_process.name
        self._popen = None
        self._closed = False
        self._target = target
        self._args = tuple(args)
        self._kwargs = dict(kwargs)
        self._name = name or type(self).__name__ + '-' + 
                     ':'.join(str(i) for i in self._identity)
        if daemon is not None:
            self.daemon = daemon
        _dangling.add(self)

May I know why lines 86 & 87 write this:

self._parent_pid = os.getpid()
self._parent_name = _current_process.name 

and not

self._parent_pid = os.getppid()
self._parent_name = _parent_process.name  

Meaning, should not the parent info instead of the current info be used for the parent attributes?
