[docs] [issue11155] multiprocessing.Queue's put() signature differs from docs

Feb. 9, 2011

      New submission from Erik Cederstrand <ec@1calendar.dk>:

In Python 2.6.6 on OSX:
...
...
...
import inspect
from multiprocessing import Queue
q = Queue()
print(inspect.getargspec(q.put))
ArgSpec(args=['self', 'obj', 'block', 'timeout'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(True, None))
from Queue import Queue
q = Queue()
print(inspect.getargspec(q.put))
ArgSpec(args=['self', 'item', 'block', 'timeout'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(True, None))
Notice the 'obj' argument in the multiprocessing version and the 'item' argument in the Queue version. I think 'obj' should be renamed to 'item' to be in line with the other implementation and to agree with the docs: (http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html?highlight=multiprocessin...):

    put(item[, block[, timeout]])
