There is a '--' before a ',' that doesn't make sense here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.join

I think the patch should remove the comma, not the double dash. This is a parenthetical remark and should end the same way it starts.

See https://www.grammarly.com/handbook/punctuation/dash/2/dash-parenthetical-information/

I agree the second patch is more correct. This undoes the change as it was introduced in revision c4cf1b886d6b and matches the Python 2 text.
