Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: Wouldn't retrying on EINTR cause havoc when you try to interrupt a process?
That is: what would happen with the proposed patch when a python script does a read that takes a very long time and the user tries to interrupt the script (by using Ctrl+C to send a SIGTERM)? If I my understanding of is correct the patch will ensure that the process does not get interupted because the default SIGTERM handler just sets a flag that's periodicly checked in the python interpreter loop. With the proposed patch python would not get around to checking that flag until the I/O operation is finished. ---------- nosy: +ronaldoussoren _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9867> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
