This change makes configure check for
- the existence of a hg repository
- the hg executable itself
- the python executable
Running $(srcdir)/Parser/asdl_c.py (i.e. ASDLGEN) will fail if any of
the above prerequisites is missing, so we now disable it instead.
closes#12225
Move also the "ready" trigger after the installation of the signal handler and
the call to siginterrupt().
Use a timeout of 5 seconds instead of 3. Two seconds are supposed to be enough,
but some of our buildbots are really slow (especially the FreeBSD 6 VM).
Backport commits 968b9ff9a059 and aff0a7b0cb12 from the default branch to 3.2
branch. Extract of the changelog messages:
"The previous tests used time.sleep() to synchronize two processes. If the host
was too slow, the test could fail.
The new tests only use one process, but they use a subprocess to:
- have only one thread
- have a timeout on the blocking read (select cannot be used in the test,
select always fail with EINTR, the kernel doesn't restart it)
- not touch signal handling of the parent process"
and
"Add a basic synchronization code between the child and the parent processes:
the child writes "ready" to stdout."
I replaced .communicate(timeout=3.0) by an explicit waiting loop using
Popen.poll().
TemporaryFileTests has tests for os.tempnam() and os.tmpfile(), functions
removed from Python 3.
Move fdopen() tests to the FileTests testcase to test fdopen() on a file
descriptor, not on a directory descriptor (which raises an error on Windows).
UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding if the encoding is not specified. It now
also opens XML files for the parser in binary mode instead of the text mode to
avoid encoding issues.
