R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: 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. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> commit review type: -> behavior versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 -Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14823> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
