A.M. Kuchling added the comment:
I thought the discussion of the return code was rather complicated and tried
rewriting it; new patch attached. Is it an improvement? The new version also
specifies the function's parameters.

Yes, I think that wording works a lot better. Thanks for the touch-up.

Martin Panter added the comment:
Please apply Neil Muller’s documentation patch. It is certainly better than the
current state.
If you want to improve it further, maybe get rid of the trailing comma, and
mention that the close() method returns the exit status encoded like the wait()
Martin Panter added the comment:
Also it would be good to document that it returns a text stream, not a binary
stream.
