I disagree with the decision not to fix this bug. If a RuntimeWarning is
warranted when a temporary variable is used, it's warranted when the value is
used directly, without a temporary variable.

My thanks to David for the clarification. I don't find the logic he describes
(but does not necessarily subscribe to!) persuasive in this case. In my
opinion, "Let's be incorrect for the sake of simplicity," is not the way to
document a

If David is right and people have previously decided not to change wording like
this, can someone explain why? As it stands, the meaning is clear and incorrect.

If you can achieve that, no one will be more impre

I'm very willing to believe that I'm missing something critical here, but
wouldn't it be satisfactory to just move "" from the beginning to the end of

I don't have a Windows machine at all.
For what it's worth, here's the behavior I'm talking about, albeit with an old
version of Python:

This bug should be fixed urgently. Over at python-help we just got another
Python beginner who was using IDLE and then started to get the "IDLE's
subprocess didn't make connection" error. The problem was that the user had

Apologies! Further investigation indicates that the user had set a timeout in
the ftplib module. I'll close this. In an ideal world, errors due to timeouts
would look like they were related to timeouts. But that's a different matter

Unfortunately the problem wasn't mine originally. I'm just the guy on
python-help who happened to figure out the answer. But if someone can get me

That's what I thought at first too. But the user's sockets were set to blocking.

A socket's send function may return 0 if no bytes have been sent. Under at
