Try to prevent this test from being flaky. We might need a sleep in here
which isn't as bad as it sounds. The close() *should* raise an exception,
so if it didn't we should give more time to sync and really raise it.
Let the O/S supply a port if none of the default ports can be used.
This should make the tests more robust at the expense of allowing
tests to be sloppier by not requiring them to cleanup after themselves.
(It will legitamitely help when running two test suites simultaneously
or if another process is already using one of the predefined ports.)
This will hopefully fix test_asynchat.
whole construct away, even when an 'else' clause is present::
while 0:
print("no")
else:
print("yes")
did not generate any code at all.
Now the compiler emits the 'else' block, like it already does for 'if' statements.
Backport of r60265.
- Issue #1336: fix a race condition in subprocess.Popen if the garbage
collector kicked in at the wrong time that would cause the process
to hang when the child wrote to stderr.
Fix for #1303614 and #1174712:
- __dict__ descriptor abuse for subclasses of built-in types
- subclassing from both ModuleType and another built-in types
- Issue829951: In the smtplib module, SMTP.starttls() now complies with
RFC 3207 and forgets any knowledge obtained from the server not obtained
from the TLS negotiation itself. Patch contributed by Bill Fenner.
Fix a potential 'SystemError: NULL result without error'.
NULL may be a valid return value from PyLong_AsVoidPtr.
Also move an older ctypes NEWS item in the correct category.

function pointer is called.
Will backport to release25-maint.

the art. It now complies latest specification and tests.
The only difference of this version with the one in the trunk
is that a small subset that hash tests were removed, because
they rely on modifications to core hash() function (see
issue 1182 for further details).
Add a hack (originally devised in a slightly different form by Thomas Wouters)
to prevent spurious tracebacks when a daemon thread's cleanup happens to wake
up when the world around it has already been destroyed.
This also backports other small changes to this file, essentially making
it identical to the trunk version.
