I feel there's little more I can do. I guess the multiprocessing module could be documented a bit better that join() ought to be called before the pool is deleted? Currently, the docs merely say: "Wait for the worker processes to exit. One must call close() or terminate() before using join()." (http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.multiprocessing.Pool.join) Something along the following lines could be added: "You must call join() when you no longer need the pool; otherwise, zombie processes may keep running." I'm happy to provide a patch, if needed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13081> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
