[3.8] bpo-37531: regrtest ignores output on timeout (GH-16659) by miss-islington · Pull Request #16676 · python/cpython
bpo-37531, bpo-38207: On timeout, regrtest no longer attempts to call
`popen.communicate() again: it can hang until all child processes
using stdout and stderr pipes completes. Kill the worker process and
ignores its output.
Reenable test_regrtest.test_multiprocessing_timeout().
bpo-37531: Change also the faulthandler timeout of the main process
from 1 minute to 5 minutes, for Python slowest buildbots.
