Correction of the timeout value range needed to set the timeout to 'forever'.
The line 162 checks timeout for a value of 0 while the function definition defaults timeout to -1. In the current version of the code timeout is only checked for a value of 0 or in the 'else if' part for a value of > 0. So, values of <0 will not be taken in to account. That is the reason of my modification.
Correction in function request() doc function signature.
(after speaking with @jepler on Discord).
(@jepler: 'Circuitpython always has floats enabled')
Modification of the doc text of function request().
1) The timout parameter is a keyword-only argument; so Added '*,' in the function signature;
2) for parameter timeout an integer is expected, not a float.
I made a fresh fork of circuitpython. Using Github Desktop app, created a local clone of this fork. Then Desktop app confronted me we a change in ports\broadcom\firmware -Subproject commit .nr.... and +Subproject commit same nr-dirty.
.. the value actually needs to be enforced each time the STA or AP
is enabled, because internally there's a call to cyw43_wifi_pm with the
library's defaut power management value, not ours.
Add a getter, though it only returns our idea of what the power
management register is set to, it doesn't read out from the actual
hardware, sadly.
Originally, black_bindings found each contiguous "//|" block and sent
it to black independently. This was slower than it needed to be.
Instead, swap the comment prefix: when running black, take off
"//|" prefixes and put "##|" prefixes on all un-prefixed lines.
Then, after black is run, do the opposite operation
This more than doubles the overall speed of "pre-commit run --all",
from 3m20s to 55s CPU time on my local machine (32.5s to under 10s
"elapsed" time)
It also causes a small amount of churn in the bindings, because
black now sees enough context to know whether one 'def' follows another
or ends the 'def's in a 'class'. In the latter case, it adds an extra
newline, which becomes a "//|" line.
I'm less sure why a trailing comma was omitted before down in
rp2pio/StateMachine.c but let's roll with it.
