Tal Einat <talei...@gmail.com> added the comment:

My guess would be the docs for socket.recv()[1], which indeed don't mention 
what the return value is after a socket has been closed, nor can I find that 
info elsewhere on that page.

Those docs for socket generally avoid going into detail, including specifically 
regarding returned values.  Apparently the approach is that this general note 
about the class explains where to look for more info:

"Socket objects have the following methods. Except for makefile(), these 
correspond to Unix system calls applicable to sockets."

Given this, I don't think adding this one small detail would be in line with 
the existing approach to documenting the socket class.
