New submission from Cris Simpson <cri...@gmail.com>: In http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html, the description for socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout) reads: Set the default timeout in *floating seconds* for new socket objects. [occurs two other times on that page]
"floating seconds" is a confusing construction. Suggestion: "float expressing seconds" as per socket.settimeout(value) or "seconds (float)". ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 141892 nosy: Cris.Simpson, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs: Odd phrase "floating seconds" in socket.html versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
