New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
The commit cbe72d842646ded2454784679231e3d1e6252e72 is a good example:
deadline = time.monotonic() + 60
t = 0.1
while time.monotonic() < deadline:
time.sleep(t)
t = min(t*2, 5)
try:
smm = shared_memory.SharedMemory(name, create=False)
except FileNotFoundError:
break
else:
raise AssertionError("A SharedMemory segment was leaked after"
" a process was abruptly terminated.")
It would be nice to convert this code pattern into an helper function in
test.support. It's common to have to wait for something in tests.
