[New-bugs-announce] [issue22880] hmac.new docs show optional args incorrectly

[Roy Smith]

New submission from Roy Smith:

At https://docs.python.org/2/library/hmac.html, hmac.new() is shown as

hmac.new(key[, msg[, digestmod]])

This implies that digestmod can only be given if msg is given.  This is incorrect.  Either can be given without the other.
