* Add a new asyncio.subprocess module
* Add new create_subprocess_exec() and create_subprocess_shell() functions
* The new asyncio.subprocess.SubprocessStreamProtocol creates stream readers
for stdout and stderr and a stream writer for stdin.
* The new asyncio.subprocess.Process class offers an API close to the
subprocess.Popen class:
- pid, returncode, stdin, stdout and stderr attributes
- communicate(), wait(), send_signal(), terminate() and kill() methods
* Remove STDIN (0), STDOUT (1) and STDERR (2) constants from base_subprocess
and unix_events, to not be confused with the symbols with the same name of
subprocess and asyncio.subprocess modules
* _ProactorBasePipeTransport.get_write_buffer_size() now counts also the size
of the pending write
* _ProactorBaseWritePipeTransport._loop_writing() may now pause the protocol if
the write buffer size is greater than the high water mark (64 KB by default)
Windows) instead of using the "duplex" pipe transport. The new class uses a
simpler overlapped read to be notified when the pipe is closed. So the protocol
doesn't need to implement eof_received(): connection_lost() is called instead.
_UnixWritePipeTransport has the same approach.
Major changes:
- StreamReader.readexactly() now raises an IncompleteReadError if the
end of stream is reached before we received enough bytes, instead of
returning less bytes than requested.
- Unit tests use the main asyncio module instead of submodules like events
- _UnixWritePipeTransport now also supports character devices, as
_UnixReadPipeTransport. Patch written by Jonathan Slenders.
- Export more symbols: BaseEventLoop, BaseProactorEventLoop,
BaseSelectorEventLoop, Queue and Queue sublasses, Empty, Full
between the resolution of the BaseEventLoop.time() method and the resolution of
the selector. The granuarility is used in the scheduler to round time and
deadline.
logger.log() is now responsible to format the timeout. It might be faster if
the log is disabled for DEBUG level, but it's also more readable and fix
an issue with Python 2.6 in the Trollius project.
Logger.log() is "slow", logger.isEnabledFor() is faster and the logger is
disabled in most cases. A microbenchmark executing 100,000 dummy tasks is 22%
faster with this change.
* store the "self reading" future when the "self pipe" is closed (when the
event loop is closed)
* store "accept" futures to cancel them when we stop serving
* close the "accept socket" if the "accept future" is cancelled
Fix many warnings which can be seen when unit tests are run in verbose mode.
