Davin Potts added the comment: Of course, there's code in the wild that expects and uses the parameter named 'block' so simply changing this keyword will result in breaking others' code.
Two potentially appealing options: 1) Document that acquire in multiprocessing differs from threading in this way. 2) Implement 'blocking' as a supported keyword argument though preserve support for 'block' as a deprecated keyword. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
