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. :-)
SSL support. test_socket.py passes again on Windows.
Added an XXX about adding _ssl exports to the __all__ list (it doesn't
appear to be doing anything about that now, but since I don't have SSL
on this box I can't really tell).
helper module _ssl.
The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.
Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.
Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.
WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
This way, when a socket object is deleted after the socket module has
already been zapped by module shutdown, we don't get annoying warnings
about exceptions in __del__ methods.
# 409287, ssl fix when using _socketobject, by Robin Dunn.
I took the opportunity to improve the way it deals with reload(socket)
for the socket function as well.
also modified check_all function to suppress all warnings since they aren't
relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for
instance)
socket.py is used for all platforms, and it defines the additional
classes and alternate socket() function for Windows and BeOS systems.
The plat-*/socket.py files are no longer needed, since there is a
shared socket.py.
make_fqdn() is provided, but I decided to call it getfqdn() to be
consistent with the other names in the socket module. Since it is
really a "get" operation and does not create a new name, this is
the right name to give it.
Move the docstring here from the _socket module.
