There are a few suggestions on [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3332043/obtaining-pid-of-child-process) thread. — tijko, Nov 12 '13 at 11:40

Too late an answer for user1221244, but something that could help future readers of this thread:

As of PY361, the PID of the Manager() instance could possibly be obtained as demoed in the code below:

import multiprocessing;
if __name__ == '__main__':
    Mngr = multiprocessing.Manager();
    print('Manager process Pid:', Mngr._process.ident);

Note though that because the above involves access to a object marked as private (_process), it might change in future releases.
