Also, add a multiprocessing.connection.wait(rlist, timeout=None) function
for polling multiple objects at once. Patch by sbt.
Complete changelist from sbt's patch:
* Adds a wait(rlist, timeout=None) function for polling multiple
objects at once. On Unix this is just a wrapper for
select(rlist, [], [], timeout=None).
* Removes use of the SentinelReady exception and the sentinels argument
to certain methods. concurrent.futures.process has been changed to
use wait() instead of SentinelReady.
* Fixes bugs concerning PipeConnection.poll() and messages of zero
length.
* Fixes PipeListener.accept() to call ConnectNamedPipe() with
overlapped=True.
* Fixes Queue.empty() and SimpleQueue.empty() so that they are
threadsafe on Windows.
* Now PipeConnection.poll() and wait() will not modify the pipe except
possibly by consuming a zero length message. (Previously poll()
could consume a partial message.)
* All of multiprocesing's pipe related blocking functions/methods are
now interruptible by SIGINT on Windows.
sockets, and set FILE_FLAG_FIRST_PIPE_INSTANCE on named pipes, to make sure two
listeners can't bind to the same socket/pipe (or any existing socket/pipe).
* multiprocessing: open file with closefd=False to avoid ResourceWarning
* _test_multiprocessing: open file with O_EXCL to detect bugs in tests (if a
previous test forgot to remove TESTFN)
* test_sys_exit(): remove TESTFN after each loop iteration
Initial patch written by Serhiy Storchaka.
The public names (Thread, Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions
returning instances of hidden classes (_Thread, _Condition, etc.),
because (if Guido recalls correctly) this code pre-dates the ability to
subclass extension types.
It is now possible to inherit from Thread and other classes, without
having to import the private underscored names like multiprocessing did.
A doc update will follow: a patch is under discussion on the issue.
multiprocessing: Process._bootstrap() keeps a reference to the old process to
delay its finalization until after _run_after_forkers() as been executed. This
change should fix a crash on Mac OS X Tiger when a lock is released after a
fork.
