Replace it by class threading._Condition? I don't have an optimal solution that would fit into the prescribed layout. I think the best we can do is keep calling it class threading Condition, but mention in the very first sentence that it isn't actually a class: class threading.Condition([lock]): threading.Condition is not actually a class but a factory function. The returned instance, however, is guaranteed to have the behaviour of a threading.Condition class as described here. If the lock argument...

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment: According to http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#condition-objects, threading.Condition is a class. Nope, it's a factory, and it's written in the doc: threading.Condition() A factory function that returns a new condition variable object. A condition variable allows one or more threads to wait until they are notified by another thread. See Condition Objects. It has been changed in Python 3.3 (#10968): threading.Condition is now a class, instead of a factory. -- nosy: +haypo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12960 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue12960] threading.Condition is not a class
New submission from Nikolaus Rath nikol...@rath.org: According to http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#condition-objects, threading.Condition is a class. However, in fact it turns out to be function that constructs a _Condition instance. I don't know the reason for that, but it seems to me that either Condition should be a class, or the reason for it being a function should be documented so that people who I would like to inherit from Conditionknow if that is not supported, or if they can safely inherit from _Condition instead. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 143864 nosy: Nikratio, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: threading.Condition is not a class type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12960 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
