I think RuntimeError should be replaced by ThreadingError for _RLock >>and Condition implementations as well as docs need to be updated.

Also I think this patch should be applied to 3.4 only, it is >>enchacement, not bugfix. About fixing docs for 2.7-3.3: I see nothing wrong if current >>inconsistency will be documented, perhaps as *warning* or *note* block.

I should warn that ThreadError or `ThreadError` has no link. I've tried to find a place in the docs I could link to but haven't yet. `ValueError` does have a link. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15829> _______________________________________
