Doc of 3.4 branch says the context parameter for xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy was added at version 3.4.3: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/xmlrpc.client.html?highlight=xmlrpc.client#module-xmlrpc.client

Although doc of 3.5 branch says the context parameter for xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy was added at version 3.5: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.client.html?highlight=xmlrpc.client#module-xmlrpc.client

See issue22960 for original issue and patch.

What are you proposing? I think you will find both cases are true. The change was made in 3.4 (but only in time for 3.4.3+) and 3.5 (starting at 3.5.0). If the documentation failed to mention 3.5 and only mentioned 3.4.3, it would not be obvious if that change made it into 3.5.0, or only the upcoming 3.5.1, etc.

See the “Changed in version 3.3.1” notice at <https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen> for a similar case, which mentions both versions.

In my mind 3.4.3 < 3.5, so unless mentioned otherwise it is implied that  the change is in all versions of the 3.5 branch.

Previous sentence is if we only mention 3.4.3 of course.

I agree with desbma, but would not consider it unreasonable to mention both versions in the 3.5+ docs in order to avoid any ambiguity.

Both 3.4 and 3.5 are out of maintenance now, so this is no longer relevant.
