Thanks for the suggestion and the patch.

The 'true' isn't inherited from java.  The actual value can be either an 
integer or True/False.  (If it were a function written in Python it would be 
any value that evaluates as true, but because it is written in C it is actually 
restricted to an integer...this is a bit of a wart, actually).

In the Python3 docs it is indeed documented as 'blocking=True'.  The Python2 
docs use an older signature style that we didn't bother to fix up.
