New issue 2824: Sockets are left blocking when a positive default timeout is set
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2824/sockets-are-left-blocking-when-a-positive
Filip Salomonsson:
After a positive default socket timeout is set using
`socket.setdefaulttimeout()`, the timeout value is set on new socket objects,
and their `gettimeout()` method returns the correct value. But (as I understand
it) since it isn't applied using the `settimeout()` method, the socket is never
set to be non-blocking, and the timeout will not be properly applied during
socket operations.
The script below results in the expected `socket.timeout` when running in
CPython, but goes on to be interrupted by the alarm signal in PyPy.
```
#!python
from __future__ import print_function
import errno
import signal
import socket
import sys
import time
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, lambda signum, frame: None)
socket.setdefaulttimeout(0.5)
signal.alarm(3)
t0 = time.time()
sock = socket.socket()
# Uncommenting this works around the issue
# sock.settimeout(sock.gettimeout())
print(sys.version)
try:
# blackhole silently drops all incoming traffic
sock.connect(("blackhole.webpagetest.org", 80))
except socket.timeout:
print("Yes! Got socket.timeout", end="")
except socket.error as e:
if e.errno == errno.EINTR:
print("Noo! Interrupted by signal", end="")
else:
raise
print(" after {:.2f} seconds\n".format((time.time() - t0)))
```
