|
|
| descriptor exhaustion. | |
|
|

|
|
| New *get_blocking()* and *set_blocking()* functions allow getting and setting a file descriptor's blocking| |

|
| `socket <https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html#socket>`_ |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| Functions with timeouts now use a monotonic clock, instead of a system clock. | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| A new *socket.sendfile()* method allows sending a file over a socket by using the high-performance | |
|
|
| *os.sendfile()* function on UNIX, resulting in uploads being from 2 to 3 times faster than when using | |
|
|
| plain *socket.send()* | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| The *socket.sendall()* method no longer resets the socket timeout every time bytes are received or sent. | |

|
|
| The *SSLSocket.send()* method now raises either the *ssl.SSLWantReadError* or *ssl.SSLWantWriteError* | |
|
|
| exception on a non-blocking socket if the operation would block. Previously, it would return 0. | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| The *cert_time_to_seconds()* function now interprets the input time as UTC and not as local time, per RFC | |
|
|
| 5280. Additionally, the return value is always an int. | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| New *SSLObject.shared_ciphers()* and *SSLSocket.shared_ciphers()* methods return the list of ciphers sent | |
|

|
|
| The *SSLSocket.do_handshake()*, *SSLSocket.read()*, *SSLSocket.shutdown()*, and *SSLSocket.write()* | |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| A new *set_coroutine_wrapper()* function allows setting a global hook that will be called whenever a | |
|
|
| coroutine object is created by an async def function. A corresponding *get_coroutine_wrapper()* can be | |
|
|
| used to obtain a currently set wrapper. | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
|
|
| A new *is_finalizing()* function can be used to check if the Python interpreter is shutting down. | |
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+
