* Document most common signals (GH-19245)Victor Stinner2020-03-311-0/+106
| | | | Document individual signals (only the most common signals): description, default action, availability.
* bpo-40010: COMPUTE_EVAL_BREAKER() checks for subinterpreter (GH-19087)Victor Stinner2020-03-201-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | COMPUTE_EVAL_BREAKER() now also checks if the Python thread state belongs to the main interpreter. Don't break the evaluation loop if there are pending signals but the Python thread state it belongs to a subinterpeter. * Add _Py_IsMainThread() function. * Add _Py_ThreadCanHandleSignals() function.
* bpo-39184: Add audit events to functions in `fcntl`, `msvcrt`, `os`, ↵Saiyang Gou2020-02-131-0/+2
| | | | `resource`, `shutil`, `signal`, `syslog` (GH-18407)
* closes bpo-38712: Add signal.pidfd_send_signal. (GH-17070)Benjamin Peterson2019-11-191-0/+13
| | | | | | | | This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid. For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which Python also doesn't support.
* Improve signal documentation (GH-14274)Géry Ogam2019-08-061-20/+22
| | | | * add a missing ``.. availability::`` reST explicit markup; * more consistent "see man page" sentences.
* bpo-28795: Signal documentation: Fix misleading statement. (GH-13121)Julien Palard2019-05-071-1/+2
|
* bpo-35568: add 'raise_signal' function (GH-11335)Vladimir Matveev2019-01-081-0/+7
| | | | | | As in title, expose C `raise` function as `raise_function` in `signal` module. Also drop existing `raise_signal` in `_testcapi` module and replace all usages with new function. https://bugs.python.org/issue35568
* bpo-11233: Create availability directive for documentation (GH-9692)Cheryl Sabella2018-10-121-19/+26
| | | | | | Replace "Availability: xxx" with ".. availability:: xxx" in the doc. Original patch by Georg Brandl. Co-Authored-By: Georg Brandl <georg@python.org>

* bpo-30807: signal.setitimer() now uses _PyTime API (GH-3865)Victor Stinner2017-10-131-3/+4
| | | | | | The _PyTime API handles detects overflow and is well tested. Document that the signal will only be sent once if internal is equal to zero.

* Issue #21382: Clarify signal.signal() documentation on WindowsBerker Peksag2016-04-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | All signal.SIG* constants may not be defined on Windows so a call like signal.signal(signal.SIGPIPE, lambda signum, frame: sys.exit(1)) will raise an AttributeError.

* Issue #26304: Change "allows to <verb>" to "allows <verb>ing" or similarMartin Panter2016-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | The original form is incorrect grammar and feels awkward, even though the meaning is clear.

* | Issue #23715: signal.sigwaitinfo() and signal.sigtimedwait() are now retriedVictor Stinner2015-03-201-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | when interrupted by a signal not in the *sigset* parameter, if the signal handler does not raise an exception. signal.sigtimedwait() recomputes the timeout with a monotonic clock when it is retried. Remove test_signal.test_sigwaitinfo_interrupted() because sigwaitinfo() doesn't raise InterruptedError anymore if it is interrupted by a signal not in its sigset parameter.
* | Issue #22018: On Windows, signal.set_wakeup_fd() now also supports sockets.Victor Stinner2014-07-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | A side effect is that Python depends to the WinSock library.

* | Issue #8407: The signal handler writes the signal number as a single byteVictor Stinner2011-05-081-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | instead of a nul byte into the wakeup file descriptor. So it is possible to wait more than one signal and know which signals were raised.
