Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Modules Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Andrew Langmead (langmead) Assigned to: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Summary: acknowledge signals in non-main threads Initial Comment: When a thread under Python 2.3 produces a synchronous signal (like a SIGSEGV) the signal is blocked and does not get handled by the Python interpreter. Python 2.4 corrected this behavior and signals sent to a thread are acknowledged, and then handled the signal default behavior unless overridden with a signal handler. (in which case the python signal handler is run on the main thread.) This is a patch for Python 2.3 for proper thread/signal behavior similar to <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=960406&group_id=5470&atid=305470>. (This isn't one of the patches attached to the patch ticket, its the changes that mwh made in the CVS revisions listed, plus the further corrections in later revisions of the affected files.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-12-11 05:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO Clearly, the 2.3 branch is closed now, so I'm rejecting this patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2004-12-21 15:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 I'd be a little bit scared about applying this patch to the 2.3 branch, to be honest. I wonder what Anthony thinks? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andrew Langmead (langmead) Date: 2004-12-21 06:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=119306 Since mwh did the work for Python 2.4 threading, he might be the best person to judge this patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1088832&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
