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).
UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding if the encoding is not specified. It now
also opens XML files for the parser in binary mode instead of the text mode to
avoid encoding issues.
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.
set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env variable for the interpreter process
on OS X. This could cause failures in non-distutils subprocesses and was
unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
environment after distutils set it. Instead, have distutils set the
the deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess.
Continue to use the previous algorithm for deriving the deployment target
value:
if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set in the interpreter's env:
use the interpreter build configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
elif the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env value >= configure value:
use the env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
else: # env value less than interpreter build configure value
raise exception
This allows building extensions that can only run on newer versions of
the OS than the version python was built for, for example with a python
built for 10.3 or later and an extension that needs to be built for 10.5.
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)
