[docs] [issue35114] ssl.RAND_status docs describe it as returning True/False; actually returns 1/0

New submission from Josh Rosenberg : The ssl.RAND_status online docs say (with code format on True/False): "Return True if the SSL pseudo-random number generator has been seeded with ‘enough’ randomness, and False otherwise." This is incorrect; the function actually returns 1 or 0 (and the docstring agrees). Fix can be one of: 1. Update docs to be less specific about the return type (use true/false, not True/False) 2. Update docs to match docstring (which specifically says 1/0, not True/False) 3. Update implementation and docstring to actually return True/False (replacing PyLong_FromLong with PyBool_FromLong and changing docstring to use True/False to match online docs) #3 involves a small amount of code churn, but it also means we're not needlessly replicating a C API's use of int return values when the function is logically bool (there is no error status for the C API AFAICT, so it's not like returning int gains us anything on flexibility). bool would be mathematically equivalent to the original 1/0 return value in the rare cases someone uses it mathematically. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, SSL messages: 328917 nosy: docs@python, josh.r priority: low severity: normal status: open title: ssl.RAND_status docs describe it as returning True/False; actually returns 1/0 type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue35114 _______________________________________
