R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Well, it turns out that this design is intentional, because actually using the global socket timeout is deprecated (see issue 2451). (That is, the non-None default value of the timeout parameter is a backward compatibility hack.)
So I'm closing this as invalid. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the patches, even though they didn't get used this time. (They did help me realize the issue was invalid though, because the tests didn't pass when I applied them!) I still don't like the doc artifact, but I can't think of a way to improve it given the nature of the API. ---------- nosy: +pitrou resolution: -> invalid stage: commit review -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14425> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
