[issue12655] Expose sched.h functions

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

I'm sorry, I missed this issue. I just saw its API and I have remarks on the cpu_set type:
 * Why not reusing the set type for input parameters and the result of sched_getaffinity?
 * Method names of cpu_set are very different than names of the set type
 * Why do I need to specify the number of CPU?

signal.pthread_sigmask() accepts any iterable object as input, convert it to a sigset_t. For the result, it converts the new sigset_t to a classic Python set object.

Is it possible to get the number of CPU to be able to convert a Python set to a cpu_set?
