This mimics get_param's error handling for the most part. It is slightly
better in some regards as get_param can produce some really weird results for
duplicate *0* parts. It departs from get_param slightly in that if we have a
mix of non-extended and extended pieces for the same parameter name, the new
parser assumes they were all supposed to be extended and concatenates all the
values, whereas get_param always picks the non-extended parameter value. All
of this error recovery is pretty much arbitrary decisions...
Don't call _Py_open() from _close_open_fds_safe() because it is call just after
fork(). It's not good to play with locks (the GIL) between fork() and exec().
Use instead _Py_open_noraise() which doesn't touch to the GIL.
Previously, if you hit ctl-c while the pager was active, the python that
launched the subprocess for the pager would see the KeyboardInterrupt in the
__exit__ method of the subprocess context manager where it was waiting for the
subprocess to complete, ending the wait. This would leave the pager running,
while the interactive interpreter, after handling the exception by printing
it, would go back to trying to post a prompt...but the pager would generally
have the terminal in raw mode, and in any case would be still trying to read
from stdin. On some systems, even exiting python at that point would not
restore the terminal mode. The problem with raw mode could also happen if
ctl-C was hit when pydoc was called from the shell command line and the pager
was active.
Instead, we now wait on the subprocess in a loop, ignoring KeyboardInterrupt
just like the pager does, until the pager actually exits.
(Note: this was a regression relative to python2...in python2 the pager
is called via system, and system does not return until the pager exits.)
Add also a new _PyTime_AsMicroseconds() function.
threading.TIMEOUT_MAX is now be smaller: only 292 years instead of 292,271
years on 64-bit system for example. Sorry, your threads will hang a *little
bit* shorter. Call me if you want to ensure that your locks wait longer, I can
share some tricks with you.
* _PyTime_AsTimeval() now ensures that tv_usec is always positive
* _PyTime_AsTimespec() now ensures that tv_nsec is always positive
* _PyTime_AsTimeval() now returns an integer on overflow instead of raising an
exception
* Rename _PyTime_FromObject() to _PyTime_FromSecondsObject()
* Add _PyTime_AsNanosecondsObject() and _testcapi.pytime_fromsecondsobject()
* Add unit tests
Use time.gmtime() instead of time.sleep(), because time.sleep() is no more
declared with METH_VARARGS but with METH_O. time.gmtime() is still declared
with METH_VARARGS and so it is called with PyCFunction_Call() which is the
target of the test_gdb unit test.
