Message 204028 - Python tracker
Yeah, I argued myself into realising EXTENDED_ARG just needed to be mentioned in the function docs, but didn't go back and fix my opening paragraph. The fact dis uses an arg of None (rather than zero) to indicate "no argument" means I think the extra layer of wrapping in the pure Python module is needed prior to 3.4 rc1, but we can live without it for beta 1.
