Description

therve's avatar @therve reported
Trac ID trac#3224
Type enhancement
Created 2008-05-06 13:56:56Z

Its goals are not really clear, they should be better explained. Also, it would be great if it could run without 3 seconds spent in time.sleep.

Research direction

Find twisted.test.test_process.FDTest.testLinger and read its assertions and timing behavior first. Clarify the test's goals, then investigate removing the three-second sleep while preserving them; done means its intent is explicit and the test no longer spends that time sleeping.
