The notes in the documentation under socket.gettimeout() do go into more detail than elsewhere. But at least one thing there is at best misleading: "Sockets are always created in blocking mode" is, as we've seen, not correct for BSD-ish systems for sockets returned by accept(). So, at a minimum, this section and the documentation for socket.accept() should be expanded, along with any other changes. http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/socket.html#socket.socket.gettimeout http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/socket.html#socket.socket.accept
