Subject: On OSX the finder will return from an open() event before the application
X-Git-Tag: v2.3c1~1342
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d6ab153e5a715e409010e62d3214f848aa7339ed;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

On OSX the finder will return from an open() event before the application
has actually entered its event loop. As a stopgap, allow for a 10 second
grace period.
