Does anyone have an opinion on https://bugs.python.org/issue39673? It maps ETIME to TimeoutError, in addition to the already existing ETIMEDOUT.
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/errno.3.html says:
*ETIME *Timer expired (POSIX.1 (XSI STREAMS option)).
(POSIX.1 says "STREAMioctl(2) <http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioctl.2.html> timeout".)
*ETIMEDOUT *Connection timed out (POSIX.1-2001).
It seems like a reasonable change to me, but I'm not a subject matter expert on STREAMS, or what other affect this might have.
Why it was not mapped at first place? Was there any discussion?
Good question. Perhaps Antoine can answer.
I don't see any mention of ETIME in PEP 3151. I'm assuming it was just an oversight. I couldn't find any reference to ETIME on python-ideas or python-dev (other than this discussion), either.
As Nathaniel said, it's simply because it didn't show up in any common system calls. It's probably harmless to add it, but probably also mostly pointless :-) Regards Antoine.
