STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I tried to patch the test to use a semaphore, but my patch was not reliable (don't remove completly the race condition).
Here is a patch using 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 It is also based on time: it uses alarm() to raise a signal in one second, and use an hardcoded timeout of 3 seconds. But it doesn't need tricky synchronization between two processes. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +pitrou Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22409/test_siginterrupt.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12363> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
