Add read(), write(), and readwrite() helper functions to shorten poll
functions. Use get() instead of try/except KeyError for lookup.
XXX How could the lookup ever fail?
Remove module-level DEBUG flag.
Use iteritems() instead of items() when walking the socket map.
Reformat the functions I touched so that are consistently Pythonic.
asyncore.poll, the select fails with EINTR, which the
code catches. However, the code fails to clear the
r/w/e arrays (like poll3 does), which means it acts as
if every descriptor had received all possible events.
Bug report and patch by Cesar Eduardo Barros
Rev 1.20 introduced a call to getpeername() in the dispatcher
constructor. This only works for a connected socket. Apparently
earlier versions of the code worked with un-connected sockets, e.g. a
listening socket.
It's not clear that the code is supposed to accept these sockets,
because it sets self.connected = 1 when passed a socket. But it's
also not clear that it should be a fatal error to pass a listening
socket.
The solution, for now, is to put a try/except around the getpeername()
call and continue if it fails. The self.addr attribute is used
primarily (only?) to produce a nice repr for the object, so it hardly
matters. If there is a real error on a connected socket, it's likely
that subsequent calls will fail too.
And SF patch 473223 -- infinite getattr loop
Wrap select() and poll() calls with try/except for EINTR. If EINTR is
raised, treat as a response where no fd is ready.
In dispatcher constructor, make sure self.socket is always
initialized.
*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
