Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dmitry Vasiliev (hdima) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Semaphore.acquire() timeout parameter Initial Comment: New optional timeout parameter for Semaphore.acquire(). acquire(block=True, timeout=None) When invoked with blocking set to true and timeout set to a positive number, it blocks at most timeout seconds and return false if the internal counter is still zero; otherwise return true. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stephen Hansen (aptshansen) Date: 2007-03-16 07:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1720594 Originator: NO This applies cleanly against the HEAD, and passes all of the threading tests. I don't see any reason NOT to have a timeout on the Semaphores, and the implementation is clean enough. I do think that it should have some tests written since its a newish feature before being accepted, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=850728&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
