New submission from Berker Peksag: >From >https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.Value
Note that lock is a keyword-only argument. But the signature of Value (in Lib/multiprocessing/context.py) def Value(self, typecode_or_type, *args, lock=True): and (in Lib/multiprocessing/sharedctypes.py) def Value(typecode_or_type, *args, lock=True, ctx=None): I'd suggest to remove that part of the documentation in 3.4+. We can also make it a keyword-only argument in Python 3.6. That will make the API more similar with https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.Array ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 251196 nosy: berker.peksag, davin, docs@python, sbt priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: lock of multiprocessing.Value is not a keyword-only argument type: behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25201> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
