This wording goes back to r54491, from issue882297. Facundo writes # If the socket is in blocking mode, it can NOT have a timeout. # I fixed the docs, and made that explicit. so I don't think he really meant to equate the two. I'm not a native speaker (of English), so I'll refrain from proposing an alternative wording. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7995> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
