The function `threading.setprofile` can be called with a `None` value to
clear the profile function. This does unset the function from the
existing threads, it only clears the callback function so that new
threads are created without the profiling hook installed.
This pull request is a follow-up to https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/7214.
In short, within that mypy issue, we found it would be helpful to
determine between contextmanagers that can "swallow" exceptions vs ones
that can't. This helps prevent some false positive when using flags that
analyze control flow such as `--warn-unreachable`. To do this,
Jelle proposed assuming that only contextmanagers where the `__exit__`
returns `bool` are assumed to swallow exceptions.
This unfortunately required the following typeshed changes:
1. The typing.IO, threading.Lock, and concurrent.futures.Executor
were all modified so `__exit__` returns `Optional[None]` instead
of None -- along with all of their subclasses.
I believe these three types are meant to be subclassed, so I felt
picking the more general type was correct.
2. There were also a few concrete types (e.g. see socketserver,
subprocess, ftplib...) that I modified to return `None` -- I checked
the source code, and these all seem to return None (and don't appear
to be meant to be subclassable).
3. contextlib.suppress was changed to return bool. I also double-checked
the unittest modules and modified a subset of those contextmanagers,
leaving ones like `_AssertRaisesContext` alone.
- ThreadError exists (undocumented) on Python 3. It's an alias for _thread.error,
but making it a separate exception seems fine.
- zipfile.error is an alias for BadZipFile on both Python versions.
- zlib.Compress and Decompress are not actually accessible at runtime.
* Add threading._DummyThread
* Make threading.RLock a factory function, not a class
Will break code that currently uses a threading.RLock type annotation
