[New-bugs-announce] [issue31717] Socket documentation threading misstep?

[Phillip]

New submission from Phillip <phillip at infiniteautomation.com>:

Very small, but,

https://docs.python.org/2/howto/sockets.html
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/sockets.html

have :
while True:
    # accept connections from outside
    (clientsocket, address) = serversocket.accept()
    # now do something with the clientsocket
    # in this case, we'll pretend this is a threaded server
    ct = client_thread(clientsocket)
    ct.run()

and for some reason I really want it to be ct.start()
