This is useful when running our doctester in parallel with other build steps, or several doctesters in parallel, as happens for example in make SAGE_CHECK=yes pypi-wheels, and more of that after #35095.

To test:

MAKE="make -j14" make SAGE_NUM_THREADS=100 DEBUG_JOBCLIENT=1 ptest

This will make the doctester attempt to use 100 workers, but it will only get tokens for 14 workers from make.
DEBUG_JOBCLIENT=1 shows what's happening.

Do we have to make it standard? Other than that I think all it needs is some doc updates:

  • SAGE_NUM_THREADS in src/doc/en/installation/source.rst
  • -p flag in src/bin/sage-runtests
  • A few places in src/doc/en/developer/doctesting.rst

I think nothing is gained by making it optional. It's a very simple Python script

I'm happy with it now, thanks.

Some day we might be able to replace SAGE_NUM_THREADS in the build entirely, but I'm not going to think about it too hard until ninja supports the job server.

This is useful when running our doctester in parallel with other build
steps, or several doctesters in parallel, as happens for example in
`make SAGE_CHECK=yes pypi-wheels`, and more of that after sagemath#35095.

To test:

only get tokens for 14 workers from `make`.
`DEBUG_JOBCLIENT=1` shows what's happening.

This PR seems to be causing alarm problems on OS X, as reported at https://groups.google.com/g/sage-release/c/uP-rwlM__MU/m/MuI_BhfmCQAJ. It may be fine on older versions of OS X, according to someone else's experience.

How to reproduce these failures? Do they show with sage -tp or only with make ptest?

The AssertionError that you report in https://groups.google.com/g/sage-release/c/uP-rwlM__MU/m/IXLL5mZrAwAJ seems unrelated; I would think if this is new, it's coming from one of the recent IPython upgrade PRs

I've only seen them with make ptestlong. I've been unable to reproduce them with sage -tp ....

If I remember correctly, I also see this in 10.2.beta1, so it's not related to this PR. I don't know how long it's been happening. (I also see it on a linux virtual machine running on my Intel mac, so it's not just OS X.)

I consider these alarm doctest failures to be a blocker issue. Aside from reverting this PR, what options are there?

Could you open a new Issue please with a clear reproducer (and distinguishing between ./sage -t and make test and make ptest)?
