[New-bugs-announce] [issue41510] Mentions of pdb.set_trace() in library/functions and library/sys uncorrectly states that set_trace expects no arguments

[Maciej Olko]

New submission from Maciej Olko <maciej.olko at gmail.com>:

An argument was added to pdb.set_trace() in Python 3.7 and those fragments of documentation should have been updated:

library/functions.rst:120
> By default, sys.breakpointhook() calls pdb.set_trace() expecting no arguments.

library/sys.rst
> For example, the default binding (e.g. pdb.set_trace()) expects no arguments, but you might bind it to a function that expects additional arguments (positional and/or keyword).
