New submission from Jyrki Pulliainen <jyrki@dywypi.org>: In threading module, the Lock.acquire documentation is misleading. The signature suggests that the blocking can be given as a keyword argument but that would lead to an TypeError, as thread.lock.acquire does not accept keyword arguments. The signature in documentation should be formatted as in thread.lock.acquire. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 124861 nosy: Jyrki.Pulliainen, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Lock.acquire documentation is misleading versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10789> _______________________________________
