New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray@bitdance.com>: The doc string for HTTPConnection.getresponse mentions (in broken English) that the instance's response_class attribute determines what class gets instantiated for a response. The docs do not mention this attribute, nor any other way to control what class is used. Since this attribute already exists and is mentioned in the doc string, can we consider this a doc error and just document it? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 148136 nosy: docs@python, orsenthil, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Providing a custom HTTPResponse class to HTTPConnection versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13456> _______________________________________
