Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like
object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used.
This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error
messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the
buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required. (The
glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer
protocol in the docs.)
threading.Lock.acquire(), threading.RLock.acquire() and socket operations now
use a monotonic clock, instead of the system clock, when a timeout is used.
This platform exposes the function ioctl(FIOCLEX), but calling it fails with
errno is ENOTTY: "Inappropriate ioctl for device". set_inheritable() now falls
back to the slower fcntl() (F_GETFD and then F_SETFD).
Other changes:
* The whole _PyTime API is private (not defined if Py_LIMITED_API is set)
* _PyTime_gettimeofday_info() also returns -1 on error
* Simplify PyTime_gettimeofday(): only use clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) or
gettimeofday() on UNIX. Don't fallback to ftime() or time() anymore.
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) if available. As a side effect, Python now
depends on the librt library on Solaris and on Linux (only with glibc older
than 2.17).
name, and use it in the representation of a generator (``repr(gen)``). The
default name of the generator (``__name__`` attribute) is now get from the
function instead of the code. Use ``gen.gi_code.co_name`` to get the name of
the code.
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
in order to have the same resolution as pthreads condition variables.
At the same time, it must be large enough to accept 31 bits of
milliseconds, which is the maximum timeout value in the windows API.
A PY_LONG_LONG of microseconds fullfills both requirements.
This closes issue #20737
