Antoine suggested me to add these functions in the issue#22042.Here is a patch to implement these functions and use them in various places.

Oops, test_asyncio was failing. Fixed patched.

Can someone please review my patch?

Maybe is_something() is a better name than get_something()if something is a boolean?

> Maybe is_something() is a better name than get_something()> if something is a boolean?os and socket modules already use getxxx() / setxxx() names:- os.get_inheritable() / os.set_inheritable()- os.getuid() / os.setuid()- os.getgroups() / os.setgroups()- os.getxattr() os.setxattr()- socket.gettimeout() / socket.settimeout()- socket.get_inheritable() / socket.set_inheritable()- etc.There is only one "is" function: os.isatty(), but it does not have a "os.settty" method.

> os and socket modules already use getxxx() / setxxx() names:>> - os.get_inheritable() / os.set_inheritable()> - os.getuid() / os.setuid()> - os.getgroups() / os.setgroups()> - os.getxattr() os.setxattr()> - socket.gettimeout() / socket.settimeout()> - socket.get_inheritable() / socket.set_inheritable()> - etc.egid, euid, gid, groups, pgid, pgrp, priority, resgid, sid, uid, xatrr,hostname, timeout, sockopt are not boolean. Thoughget_inheritable() spoils the pot.Compare:  if os.get_blocking(fd): # is it a bug? Does it return some mode bits?     # Do I need stat.IS_BLK(os.get_blocking(fd)) here instead?And:  if os.is_blocking(fd):     # it is clear that fd is blockingThere could be an argument that get_inheritable should be renamed tois_inheritable instead.

I agree with Akira, although it's probably too late now to rename.

Guido van Rossum told me that he's ok for "get": "I'd go with get, since that seems the tradition in the os module."
