I concur. This is very much a non-problem.
There is no need to add more code and slow
running time with superfluous type checks.

What do you think about the following check from threading.py:
@@ -317,8 +317,6 @@
self._value = value
def acquire(self, blocking=True, timeout=None):
- if not blocking and timeout is not None:
- raise ValueError("can't specify timeout for non-blocking
acquire")
rc = False
(There are similar checks in Modules/_threadmodule.c)
Removing the check means that we ignore the timeout argument when
blocking=False. Currently in the multiprocessing docs there is an
outdated note concerning acquire() methods that also says: "If block is
False then timeout is ignored". This makes the acquire() methods of the
threading and multiprocessing modules have different behaviors.
