+- Issue #5673: Added a `timeout` keyword argument to subprocess.Popen.wait,
+ subprocess.Popen.communicated, subprocess.call, subprocess.check_call, and
+ subprocess.check_output. If the blocking operation takes more than `timeout`
+ seconds, the `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` exception is raised.

- Issue #11650: PyOS_StdioReadline() retries fgets() if it was interrupted
(EINTR), for example if the program is stopped with CTRL+z on Mac OS X. Patch
