Berker Peksag added the comment: I use "enhancement" for non-trivial documentation patches. Also, quoting from https://docs.python.org/devguide/triaging.html#type "Also used for improvements in the documentation and test suite and for other refactorings." In this case, your patch fixes a documentation issue and improving current documentation by documenting {Lock,RLock}.acquire() and release() methods properly (documentation improvements can go into bugfix branches). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23484> _______________________________________
