[New-bugs-announce] [issue22063] asyncio: sock_xxx() methods of event loops should make the socket non-blocking

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

The sock_xxx() methods of asyncio.BaseEventLoop don't make the socket non-blocking, and the documentation doesn't require that sockets are already set to non-blocking mode.

It looks like a bug, at least in the documentation.

If these methods should make the sockets non-blocking, should they also restore the previous timeout (blocking mode) at exit? ssl.SSLSocket.do_handshake(block=True) makes temporary the socket blocking, and then restore the previous timeout.
