New submission from Tasslehoff Kjappfot <tasskj...@gmail.com>: Queue.get([block[, timeout]]) uses time.time() for calculations of the timeout. If someone changes the system time this breaks. If a timeout of 1 second is set and someone (on a unix system) uses date to set the time 1 hour back, Queue.get will use 1 hour and 1 second to time out.
I'm guessing the fix is just to use another library function to measure time, but I don't know if one exists that works on all platforms. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 155106 nosy: tasslehoff priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Using time.time() in Queue.get breaks when system time is changed type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14222> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
