Hi,

I see "method=None" parameter in urllib.request.Request constructor (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/urllib/request.py#L327) but I don't see "method" parameter in documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.2/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.Request

I suggest to add documentation about "method".

Best regards,
Stéphane

method is added in Python 3.3. You're referencing documentation of Python 3.2.

The documentation is correct for later Python versions: https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.Request
