New submission from David Beazley <d...@dabeaz.com>:

Documentation (e.g., docstrings) for the io module make mention of a 
BlockingIOError exception that might be raised if operations are performed on a 
file that's in non-blocking mode.  However, I am unable to get this exception 
on any operation (instead None is returned for non-blocking).  Moreover, I 
can't find any reference in the C/Python source for the io module that ever 
raises this exception.

Perhaps someone can clarify the status of this exception?
