Thanks for the report!
The default values of fp and environ parameters are already documented in the
function signature in Python 3:
cgi.parse(fp=None, environ=os.environ, keep_blank_values=False,
strict_parsing=False)
In Python 2, the function signature is:
cgi.parse(fp[, environ[, keep_blank_values[, strict_parsing]]])
Since the default values cannot be documented in the latter form, we need to
specify them separately in plain text.
The reason why "(the file defaults to ``sys.stdin``)" is still in Python 3
documentation is because of the following two lines in cgi.parse()
implementation:
if fp is None:
fp = sys.stdin
So if you invoke cgi.parse() (which means fp is None) it will be replaced with
sys.stdin.
