My biggest worry about the patch is that it looks like it will mask other EIO errors from normal terminals (e.g. perhaps reading from a slave or a real serial port can also produce an EIO error that does not mean EOF). Another option may be to add a specialized pseudo terminal master wrapper class that does the right thing on Linux. But I’m not a pseudo terminal expert and don’t really have a strong view about this.
I agree that the “pty” module is rather limited, although the documentation does say pty.openpty() is more portable than os.openpty(). Maybe if Python used posix_openpt(), portability would be less of a problem? |
