[New-bugs-announce] [issue20564] test_threadsignals.py "failed" on OpenBSD because too slow (> 3sec)

[Remi Pointel]

New submission from Remi Pointel:

Hi,

I have 2 tests which "failed" on OpenBSD (tested on i386, amd64 and sparc64) in:

- test_threadsignals.py/test_lock_acquire_interruption
- test_threadsignals.py/test_rlock_acquire_interruption


======================================================================
FAIL: test_lock_acquire_interruption (__main__.ThreadSignals)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_threadsignals.py", line 94, in test_lock_acquire_interruption
    self.assertLess(dt, 3.0)
AssertionError: 5.020112991333008 not less than 3.0

======================================================================
FAIL: test_rlock_acquire_interruption (__main__.ThreadSignals)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_threadsignals.py", line 122, in test_rlock_acquire_interruption
    self.assertLess(dt, 3.0)
AssertionError: 5.0101478099823 not less than 3.0

On the 3 machines it took ~ 5sec.
I'm asking why it's 3 seconds by default in the tests? Could we modify the value to 6 instead of 3, is it acceptable?

Thanks for your response,

Remi.
