Subject: Issue #20311, #20452: poll and epoll now round the timeout away from zero,
X-Git-Tag: v3.4.0rc1~164
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fcfb9461d3cb726b3badee8ffdb6034f19882330;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Issue #20311, #20452: poll and epoll now round the timeout away from zero,
instead of rounding towards zero, in select and selectors modules:
select.epoll.poll(), selectors.PollSelector.poll() and
selectors.EpollSelector.poll(). For example, a timeout of one microsecond
(1e-6) is now rounded to one millisecondi (1e-3), instead of being rounded to
zero.

Mention the change in Misc/NEWS.

 - asyncio: Some refactoring; add write flow control to unix pipes;
   support wait_for(f, None); don't log broken/disconnected pipes; use
   ValueError instead of assert for forbidden subprocess_{shell,exec}
