Since Python 3.3, the C signal handler writes the signal number into the wakeup
file descriptor and then schedules the Python call using Py_AddPendingCall().
asyncio uses the wakeup file descriptor to wake up the event loop, and relies
on Py_AddPendingCall() to schedule the final callback with call_soon().
If the C signal handler is called in a thread different than the thread of the
event loop, the loop is awaken but Py_AddPendingCall() was not called yet. In
this case, the event loop has nothing to do and go to sleep again.
Py_AddPendingCall() is called while the event loop is sleeping again and so the
final callback is not scheduled immediatly.
This patch changes how asyncio handles signals. Instead of relying on
Py_AddPendingCall() and the wakeup file descriptor, asyncio now only relies on
the wakeup file descriptor. asyncio reads signal numbers from the wakeup file
descriptor to call its signal handler.
* Tulip issue #184: Log subprocess events in debug mode
- Log stdin, stdout and stderr transports and protocols
- Log process identifier (pid)
- Log connection of pipes
- Log process exit
- Log Process.communicate() tasks: feed stdin, read stdout and stderr
- Add __repr__() method to many classes related to subprocesses
* Add BaseSubprocessTransport._pid attribute. Store the pid so it is still
accessible after the process exited. It's more convinient for debug.
* create_connection(): add the socket in the "connected to" debug log
* Clean up some docstrings and comments. Remove unused unimplemented
_read_from_self().
* Tulip issue #183: log socket events in debug mode
- Log most important socket events: socket connected, new client, connection
reset or closed by peer (EOF), etc.
- Log time elapsed in DNS resolution (getaddrinfo)
- Log pause/resume reading
- Log time of SSL handshake
- Log SSL handshake errors
- Add a __repr__() method to many classes
* Fix ProactorEventLoop() in debug mode. ProactorEventLoop._make_self_pipe()
doesn't call call_soon() directly because it checks for the current loop
which fails, because the method is called to build the event loop.
* Cleanup _ProactorReadPipeTransport constructor. Not need to set again
_read_fut attribute to None, it is already done in the base class.
* _UnixSubprocessTransport: fix file mode of stdin. Open stdin in write mode,
not in read mode
* Examples: close the event loop at exit
* More reliable CoroWrapper.__del__. If the constructor is interrupted by
KeyboardInterrupt or the coroutine objet is destroyed lately, some the
_source_traceback attribute doesn't exist anymore.
* repr(Task): include also the future the task is waiting for
Fix ResourceWarning: create_connection(), create_datagram_endpoint() and
create_unix_server() methods of event loop now close the newly created socket
on error.
* Add a new asyncio.subprocess module
* Add new create_subprocess_exec() and create_subprocess_shell() functions
* The new asyncio.subprocess.SubprocessStreamProtocol creates stream readers
for stdout and stderr and a stream writer for stdin.
* The new asyncio.subprocess.Process class offers an API close to the
subprocess.Popen class:
- pid, returncode, stdin, stdout and stderr attributes
- communicate(), wait(), send_signal(), terminate() and kill() methods
* Remove STDIN (0), STDOUT (1) and STDERR (2) constants from base_subprocess
and unix_events, to not be confused with the symbols with the same name of
subprocess and asyncio.subprocess modules
* _ProactorBasePipeTransport.get_write_buffer_size() now counts also the size
of the pending write
* _ProactorBaseWritePipeTransport._loop_writing() may now pause the protocol if
the write buffer size is greater than the high water mark (64 KB by default)
Major changes:
- StreamReader.readexactly() now raises an IncompleteReadError if the
end of stream is reached before we received enough bytes, instead of
returning less bytes than requested.
- Unit tests use the main asyncio module instead of submodules like events
- _UnixWritePipeTransport now also supports character devices, as
_UnixReadPipeTransport. Patch written by Jonathan Slenders.
- Export more symbols: BaseEventLoop, BaseProactorEventLoop,
BaseSelectorEventLoop, Queue and Queue sublasses, Empty, Full
