[3.14] gh-89554: Document socket.SocketType as a class (#150683)#151245
Merged
Conversation
socket.SocketType is a class (re-exported from _socket as an alias of _socket.socket, the base class of socket.socket), but was documented with the ".. data::" directive, so ":class:" cross-references to it cannot resolve against a py:class target. Switch the entry to ".. class::", correct the misleading description (SocketType is the base class of the socket type, not "type(socket(...))" which is socket.socket; addresses pythongh-88427), move it into the Socket Objects section, and document the socket object methods and attributes nested under the socket class, dropping the redundant "socket." prefix. (cherry picked from commit a621e8a)
