argument vs parameter confusion in XMLRPC client documentation #140505
Description
Documentation
In https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.client.html#xmlrpc.client.MultiCall I read:
store the call name and parameters
But the arguments are stored, no the parameter (there's no parameter anyway as the call occur through a getitem that returns a _MultiCallMethod, itself using a call to be callable with *args, so there's no parameters at all (except *args).
So it should be:
store the call name and arguments
I leave this open for anyone wanting to tackle a very easy issue that can't break the prod.
