The duration of a timeout of N seconds should be N seconds even if the system clock is updated (e.g. a daylight saving time (DST) change). This feature is checked by an unit test in the patch attached to the isuse #14428 (implementation of the PEP 418): + def test_monotonic_settime(self): + t1 = time.monotonic() + realtime = time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_REALTIME) + # jump backward with an offset of 1 hour + time.clock_settime(time.CLOCK_REALTIME, realtime - 3600) + t2 = time.monotonic() + time.clock_settime(time.CLOCK_REALTIME, realtime) + # monotonic must not be affected by system clock updates + self.assertGreaterEqual(t2, t1) You can imagine a similar patch for Queue timeout. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
