Move also the "ready" trigger after the installation of the signal handler and
the call to siginterrupt().
Use a timeout of 5 seconds instead of 3. Two seconds are supposed to be enough,
but some of our buildbots are really slow (especially the FreeBSD 6 VM).
Backport commits 968b9ff9a059 and aff0a7b0cb12 from the default branch to 3.2
branch. Extract of the changelog messages:
"The previous tests used time.sleep() to synchronize two processes. If the host
was too slow, the test could fail.
The new tests only use one process, but they use a subprocess to:
- have only one thread
- have a timeout on the blocking read (select cannot be used in the test,
select always fail with EINTR, the kernel doesn't restart it)
- not touch signal handling of the parent process"
and
"Add a basic synchronization code between the child and the parent processes:
the child writes "ready" to stdout."
I replaced .communicate(timeout=3.0) by an explicit waiting loop using
Popen.poll().
TemporaryFileTests has tests for os.tempnam() and os.tmpfile(), functions
removed from Python 3.
Move fdopen() tests to the FileTests testcase to test fdopen() on a file
descriptor, not on a directory descriptor (which raises an error on Windows).
regrtest doesn't check that tests doesn't write something to stdout anymore.
Don't replace sys.stdout by the original sys.stdout to be able to capture the
output for regrtest -W.
os.lchflags() are once again built on systems that support these
functions (*BSD and OS X). Also add new stat file flags for OS X
(UF_HIDDEN and UF_COMPRESSED). Also add additional tests for
os.chflags() and os.lchflags(). (Tests by Garrett Cooper)
Locks are implemented using a mutex and a condition variable of the pthread
library on FreeBSD6. POSIX condition variables cannot be interrupted by signals
(see pthread_cond_wait manual page).
Mac OS X adds __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING variable to an empty environment. Fix
also the test on the Py_ENABLE_SHARED config varible: test that the variable is
present, don't check it's value.
All of the other methods in mailbox that create message objects take care to
close the file descriptors they use, so it seems to make sense to have
__getitem__ do so as well.
Patch by Filip Gruszczyński.
AbstractHTTPHandler.do_open() of urllib.request closes the HTTP connection if
its getresponse() method fails with a socket error. Patch written by Ezio
Melotti.
Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was
removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a
symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic
link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations.
Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat
code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to
properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).
Just try to open files from the ZIP for reading, don't extract them to avoid
UnicodeEncodeError if the filename is not encodable to the filesystem encoding
(e.g. ASCII locale encoding).
