and this broke a Zope "pipelining" test which read multiple responses
from the same connection (this attaches a new file object to the
socket for each response). Added a test for this too.
(I want to do some code cleanup too, but I thought I'd first fix
the problem with as little code as possible, and add a unit test
for this case. So that's what this checkin is about.)
and age of rampant computer breakins I imagine there are plenty of systems
with telnet disabled. Successful check of at least one getservbyname() call
is required for success
If the long is large enough, the return value will be a negative int.
In this case, calling the function a second time won't return the
original value passed in.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
They still run as standalone scripts, but when used as part of the
regression test suite, they are effectively no-ops.
(This is done by renaming test_main to main.)
that retries the connect() call in timeout mode so it can be shared
between connect() and connect_ex(), and needs only a single #ifdef.
The test for this was doing funky stuff I don't approve of,
so I removed it in favor of a simpler test. This allowed me
to implement a simpler, "purer" form of the timeout retry code.
Hopefully that's enough (if you want to be fancy, use non-blocking
mode and decode the errors yourself, like before).
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.
I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this. Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.
No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)
and replaces them with a new API verify(). As a result the regression
suite will also perform its tests in optimization mode.

Don't assume gethostbyaddr()'s primary hostname is the same as
gethostname(), or even that gethostname() can be found in the list of
hosts returned by gethostbyaddr(). We do test for at least one FQDN
in gethostbyaddr().
