It is already documented. socket.makefile says the args are interpreted as for the built in function 'open' and provides a link to those docs, which clearly say that the default is that buffering is on. None is often used to mean "default" in Python functions. As for your original question as to whether or not this is the right list, no it isn't :). python-list is the best place to post this kind of question, and then if you find you have a real bug, file a bug report on the tracker. -- R.
