New submission from STINNER Victor: The signal.set_wakeup_fd() function is used to write signal numbers as bytes into a pipe, to be able to handle signals using a "regular" file descriptors instead of special signal handlers.
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/signal.html Problem: it's not documented how to unregister the FD. I just saw "signal.set_wakeup_fd(-1)" in a Pull Request and realized that we forgot to document it: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2139/ This issue is an EASY issue: please leave it to real newcomers who didn't write any PR to CPython previously. Core developers: explain how to fix the issue, don't fix it ;-) Doc/library/signal.rst should be modified. I read that it's even possible to create a PR using an online editor? I never tried: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/library/signal.rst ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30644> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
