New submission from Roy Smith <r...@panix.com>:

The documentation for the threading.Thread constructor says:

"target is the callable object to be invoked by the run() method. Defaults to 
None, meaning nothing is called."

This could be improved by explicitly stating that target is called in a static 
context.  As written, it takes a bit of thought (and experimentation) to be 
sure of that.
