Assume the following case: 1. writing starts, and writes some data 2. Ctrl-C is pressed, raises a signal, and interrupts the current system call (EINTR) 3. having already written data, the signal is discarded, and the number of successfully written bytes is returned. 4. the loop retries to write the rest. Not receiving any signal anymore, the subsequent write operations wait for completion. End consequence: the signal is discarded without any effect. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9611> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
