https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/resource.html

https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/resource.html#resource.RLIMIT_FSIZE ends with the sentence "This only affects the stack of the main thread in a multi-threaded process."

I believe this sentence should be appended to https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/resource.html#resource.RLIMIT_STACK

This error also exists in previous versions of python documentation.

It does seem that the mentioned line belongs under RLIMIT_STACK instead of RLIMIT_FSIZE. I am submitting a patch.

I've looked at the patch, and the fix looks correct to me. Thanks Alakshendra! 

I'll verify it builds correctly.
