Thanks for the suggestion and the patch. The 'true' isn't inherited from java. The actual value can be either an integer or True/False. (If it were a function written in Python it would be any value that evaluates as true, but because it is written in C it is actually restricted to an integer...this is a bit of a wart, actually). In the Python3 docs it is indeed documented as 'blocking=True'. The Python2 docs use an older signature style that we didn't bother to fix up.
