<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I don't have a strong opinion on this either. The distinction between send() and send_all() makes sense to me though (send_all() works hard to get all your data out, send() only does what it can quickly).<br>
<br></div>Personally for calls like select() I think returning early on EINTR makes sense, it's usually part of a select loop anyway.<br><br></div>The only thing I care deeply about is that you shouldn't restart anything before letting a Python-level signal handler run. A program might well have a Python signal handler that must run before the I/O is restarted, and the signal handler might raise an exception (like the default SIGINT handler, which raises KeyboardInterrupt).<br>

</div>I don't have any precise opinion on this. It's true that we should have<br>
a systematic approach, I just don't know if all interfaces should<br>
handler EINTR automatically, or only the high-level ones.<br>
(for the sake of clarity, I'm fine with either :-))<br>
