time.ctime(), gmtime(), time.localtime(), datetime.date.fromtimestamp(),
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
raises an OverflowError, instead of a ValueError, if the timestamp does not fit
in time_t.
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
round microseconds towards zero instead of rounding to nearest with ties going
away from zero.
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.
and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
(See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.
Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
and many ideas.
- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
non-contiguous arrays.
- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.
