R. David Murray added the comment: The documentation says "Some of them are not available on all platforms. For descriptions of their availability and use, consult the open(2) manual page on Unix or the MSDN on Windows.". The important bit there being "consult the open(2) manual page on Unix" for availability.
That said, since the options are grouped and labeled with per-platform availability...but with a slightly different meaning of the word platform...I think the docs could be clarified. Do you have a suggestion for rewording that sentence to make it clearer? ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
