[New-bugs-announce] [issue9339] threading is_alive documnetation is unclear

[Brian Brazil]

New submission from Brian Brazil <brian.brazil at gmail.com>:

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/threading.html

"Roughly, a thread is alive from the moment the start() method returns until its run() method terminates."

Using "Roughly" in relation to threading is a bit unspecific. I've had a look through _bootstrap_inner() and attached a patch to clarify this.
