If you mean this text under Lock.acquire:

   When invoked with the blocking argument set to False, do not block. If a call 
   with blocking set to True would block, return False immediately; otherwise, 
   set the lock to locked and return True.

that pretty clearly (to me) describes blocking=False, by contrasting it with a 
behaviour that would obtain if blocking=True. It is in the clause describing 
"the blocking argument set to False", after all.
