Tutorial 2 uses engine.block() but Tutorial 1 doesn't?

I'm very new to CP, and have a confusion about when
"cherrypy.engine.block()" should be called and
when
cherrypy.quickstart is sufficient (which apparently does not
call
engine.block).

In the official most recent CP tutorials (http://www.cherrypy.org/

browser/trunk/cherrypy/tutorial),
I see that Tutorial 1 (tut01_helloworld.py) calls
cherrypy.quickstart(), but Tutorial 2
(tut02_expose_methods.py)
instead calls this sequence:

  cherrypy.server.quickstart()
  cherrypy.engine.start()
  cherrypy.engine.block()

In the page, it says the cherrypy.quickstart function is as
follows,
which seems to not contain a call to engine.block():

def quickstart(root, script_name="",
config=None):
    if config:
        cherrypy.config.update(config)
    tree.mount(root, script_name, config)
    server.quickstart()
    engine.start()

Thanks in advance for any explanations or pointing me to any
reference
that discusses it.

If you mean http://www.c
herrypy.org/wiki/UpgradeTo30, that was incorrect
(and I've fixed it now). The "cherrypy.quickstart"
function does indeed
call engine.block().
