[issue27351] Unexpected ConfigParser.read() behavior when passed fileobject

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Doing what the doc says is not a bug. The doc being obsolete in saying 'list' (which was once true) instead of the now correct 'iterable' is. The 3.6 ConfigParser.__doc___ also says 'list', so both docstrings and docs for all current versions should be fixed.
