New submission from Sebastian Rittau <srit...@rittau.biz>:
The documentation of socket.SocketType (https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html?highlight=sockettype#socket.SocketType) is misleading. It states: This is a Python type object that represents the socket object type. It is the same as type(socket(...)). This is untrue. socket.SocketType is in reality re-exported from _socket, where it is an alias for class _socket.socket, a super type of class socket.socket. I think that either the documentation should be fixed, or SocketType should be moved to socket and made an alias of socket.socket. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 394665 nosy: docs@python, srittau priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: SocketType documentation misleading _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44261> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
