Corey Goldberg <cgoldb...@gmail.com> added the comment: sorry for the confusion. The doc might actually be correct, but it seems ambiguous and confusing with respect to the name and daemon properties.
if you look here: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/threading.html scroll down to where it says: Thread.getName() Thread.setName() Old API for name. when you click on "name", it expands and shows you the 'name' property. However, it looks like it is denoting this as the "Old API". at first glance it appears as though Thread.getName() and Thread.setName() are the new way, and you can click on 'name' to see the old API. I think the issue is actually the fact that Thread.name and Thread.daemon are not expanded in the HTML doc until you click on their names (unlike other properties/attributes in the doc which are already expanded) Let me know if I am not explaining well. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4808> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
