New submission from Mike Hoy:

>From the Docs mailing list:

>Hi

>I found a bug in python docs which can be accessed at links:
>http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#lock-objects
>http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/threading.html#lock-objects

>Bug is in second paragraph describing threading.Lock. I found that >statement:
>"If an attempt is made to release an unlocked lock, a RuntimeError will >be raised."
>Which is not true, name of exception is wrong it should be (and it >relay is) ThreadError (from threading module)

>Could someone fix it?
