We remove the StackOverflow link because it is now so dated as to be
irrelevant -- it does not use `self.ident`, and cargo-cults the return
value of PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc.
As noted in the docstring for this function, the timeout is
best-effort only -- if the thread is blocked in a syscall, it will not
service the exception until it returns. It can also choose to catch
and ignore the TimeoutExpired; in either case it will still be running
even after the `timeout()` function returns.
Raising a vare TimeoutExpired it still somewhat accurate, but obscures
that the backend thread may still be running along merrily. Notice
such cases, and log a warning about them.
Having just thrown an exception into the thread, it is often useful to
know _what_ was the slow code that we interrupted. Raising a bare
TimeoutExpired here obscures that information, as any `exc_info` will
end there.
Examine the thread for any exception information, and use that to
re-raise. This exception information is not guaranteed to exist -- if
the thread didn't respond to the exception in time, or caught it, for
instance.
The quote in question originates in python/cpython@b8b6d0c2c6, when
the code was added. However, the code stopped having that comment,
and was no longer able to return anything but 1 or 0, starting in
python/cpython@4643c2fda1 -- Python 2.5.
Remove the block.
Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

This needs to be deployed to both staging and prod at the same
off-peak time (and the schema migration run).
At the time it is deployed, we need to make a few changes directly in
the database:
(1) UPDATE django_content_type set app_label='zerver' where app_label='zephyr';
(2) UPDATE south_migrationhistory set app_name='zerver' where app_name='zephyr';
