New submission from cardinalbiggles jmander...@gmail.com:
In the threading module, the documentation for
Thread.isDaemon()/Thread.setDaemon() indicates they are the old API for
Thread.daemon, which does not indicate the version in which it was introduced
(2.6 I believe).
Additionally, the documentation for Thread.setDaemon() should at least include
the daemonic parameter, if not the full usage documentation for those targeting
older versions.
Targeting Python 2.4, and being unable to (as) efficiently navigate the old
documentation site, I have come to rely on the various 'Changed/New in version
2.X' messages in the current documentation. This caused some confusion on my
part.
