New submission from STINNER Victor: Attached patch changes time.sleep() to retry select() when select() is interrupted by a signal or retry WaitForSingleObjectEx() when the signal SIGINT is received on Windows.
The patch drops support for EMX, sorry! I didn't know EMX, I had to Google it: "EMX is a free 32-bit DOS extender which adds some properties of Unix to MS-compatible DOS and IBM's OS/2 operating systems." (OS/2 support was dropped in Python 3.4 by the PEP 11.) The patch also drops support for Watcom C compiler. I guess that it's also something specific to MS-DOS or very old (and unsupported) Windows versions. select.select() is available on all platforms according to the doc, so I don't understand why we would not use it on all platforms for time.sleep() in 2015! https://docs.python.org/dev/library/select.html#select.select ---------- files: sleep_eintr.patch keywords: patch messages: 237948 nosy: haypo, neologix, pitrou priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PEP 475: handle EINTR in the time module, retry sleep() versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38454/sleep_eintr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23646> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
