[New-bugs-announce] [issue17876] Doc issue with threading.Event

[Xavier Ordoquy]

New submission from Xavier Ordoquy:

The documentation isn't correct for the threading.Event class under python 3.2.

In the threading doc page (http://docs.python.org/3.2/library/threading.html), Event is said to be at the same time a function and a class.

This is misleading and lead to a regression for celery under python 3.2 (https://github.com/celery/celery/pull/1333).

Could the doc be updated under python 3.2 so that threading.Event leads to the function and threading._Event leads to the class ?

Regards,
Xavier.
