https://docs.python.org/2.6/library/collections.html#collections.deque has this line "Changed in version 2.6: Added maxlen parameter."

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/collections.html#collections.deque kept the sentence above and added this entry after the list of methods.

Deque objects also provide one read-only attribute:
maxlen
    Maximum size of a deque or None if unbounded.
    New in version 2.7.

Which is it?

'parameter' and 'attribute' are two different things.  I presume the documentation is accurate, but haven't checked :)

I checked and 2.6 python has maxlen as a parameter, but not a maxlen attribute. The maxlen attribute was added in 2.7.

Thanks for checking.  Closing.
