[New-bugs-announce] [issue44769] socketserver.shutdown should stop serve_forever() immediately

[Petr Viktorin]

New submission from Petr Viktorin <encukou at gmail.com>:

Currently, socketserver.serve_forever() sets a variable and serve_forever() polls for it, with a configurable interval.

A comment in the code already says:
# XXX: Consider using another file descriptor or connecting to the
# socket to wake this up instead of polling. Polling reduces our
# responsiveness to a shutdown request and wastes cpu at all other
# times.
