Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Locks in 2.7 don't support a timeout, which is why Condition.wait has a polling loop. The comment explains it all:
# Balancing act: We can't afford a pure busy loop, so we # have to sleep; but if we sleep the whole timeout time, # we'll be unresponsive. Lock timeouts are a new feature in 3.2 and therefore won't be backported in 2.7, which is in bugfix mode. Consider it a good reason to switch to 3.x :-) (yes, we are aware about the power consumption issue) ---------- nosy: +pitrou resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17748> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
