Reopen #345 : unpackb documentation isn't clear

[massimosala]

Last version, using unpackb:

unpackb() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_buffer_size'

From the docs:

msgpack.unpackb See Unpacker for options.

The reader follow the docs and goes to read Unpacker ...

max_str_len, max_bin_len : Deprecated, use max_buffer_size instead

Yes, max_buffer_size doesn't exist in the unpackb declaration. However, the documentation is confusing.

Solution

unpack should have its own argument description, without referring to another function with a different signature.
