R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

The docs are correct in Python3.

The docs for Python2 are not *wrong*, since they indicate only positional 
parameters and if you use positional parameters it works as documented. (I'm 
surprised that using keyword arguments works, but I haven't looked at the 
code.)  Fixing the names in the 2.7 docs would still be helpful (2.6 docs don't 
get updated any more).
