gevent 1.0a3 available
Denis Bilenko
New alpha version of gevent is available. This one has a number in DNS
resolver fixes.
It also introduces a new method - run() which is a shortcut for
get_hub().join().
run(seconds) is like sleep(seconds) except it will exit before seconds
if the event loop exits.
Get the new version from http://code.google.com/p/gevent/downloads/list
The full changelog:
Added 'ref' property to all watchers. Settings it to False make
watcher call ev_unref/ev_ref appropriately so that this watcher does
not prevent loop.run()/hub.join()/run() from exiting.
Made resolver_ares.Resolver use 'ref' property for internal watcher.
In all servers, method "kill" was renamed to "close". The old name is
available as deprecated alias.
Added a few properties to the loop: backend_fd, fdchangecnt, timercnt.
Upgraded c-ares to 1.7.5+patch.
Fixed getaddrinfo to return results in the order (::1, IPv4, IPv6).
Fixed getaddrinfo() to handle integer of string type. Thanks to kconor.
Fixed gethostbyname() to handle '' (empty string).
Fixed getaddrinfo() to convert UnicodeEncodeError into error('Int or
String expected').
Fixed getaddrinfo() to uses the lowest 16 bits of passed port integer
similar to built-in _socket.
Fixed getnameinfo() to call getaddrinfo() to process arguments similar
to built-in _socket.
Fixed gethostbyaddr() to use getaddrinfo() to process arguments.
version_info is now a 5-tuple.
Added handle_system_error() method to Hub (used internally).
Fixed Hub's run() method to never exit. This prevent inappropriate
switches into parent greenlet.
Fixed Hub.join() to return False if Hub was already dead.
Added 'event' argument to Hub.join().
Added `run()` function to gevent top level package.
Fixed Greenlet.start() to exit silently if greenlet was already
started rather than raising :exc:`AssertionError`.
Fixed Greenlet.start() not to schedule another switch if greenlet is
already dead.
Fixed gevent.signal() to spawn Greenlet instead of raw greenlet. Also
it'll switch into the new greenlet immediately instead of scheduling
additional callback.
Do monkey patch create_connection() as gevent's version works better
with gevent.socket.socket than the standard create_connection.
pywsgi: make sure we don't try to read more requests if socket
operation failed with EPIPE
pywsgi: if we failed to send the reply, change 'status' to socket
error so that the logs mention the error.
Cheers,
Denis.
