Actually, signal.alarm() was introduced all over the place in that revision. I understand the intent of this commit was to speed up the runtime of this test (something like 28s -> 0.3s was quoted in the commit log). FWIW, runtime of the test with the following patch on Windows is 0.125s: Index: test_socketserver.py =================================================================== --- test_socketserver.py (revision 61233) +++ test_socketserver.py (working copy) @@ -28,6 +28,9 @@ HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS = hasattr(socket, "AF_UNIX") HAVE_FORKING = hasattr(os, "fork") and os.name != "os2" +def signal_alarm(n): + if hasattr(signal, 'alarm'): + signal.alarm(n) def receive(sock, n, timeout=20): r, w, x = select.select([sock], [], [], timeout) @@ -99,7 +102,7 @@ """Test all socket servers.""" def setUp(self): - signal.alarm(20) # Kill deadlocks after 20 seconds. + signal_alarm(20) # Kill deadlocks after 20 seconds. self.port_seed = 0 self.test_files = [] @@ -112,7 +115,7 @@ except os.error: pass self.test_files[:] = [] - signal.alarm(0) # Didn't deadlock. + signal_alarm(0) # Didn't deadlock. def pickaddr(self, proto): if proto == socket.AF_INET: @@ -267,4 +270,4 @@ if __name__ == "__main__": test_main() - signal.alarm(3) # Shutdown shouldn't take more than 3 seconds. + signal_alarm(3) # Shutdown shouldn't take more than 3 seconds. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
