Richard Oudkerk added the comment: Here is a reproduction without using multiprocessing:
create.py: import threading, os def foo(): print("Trying import") import sys print("Import successful") pid = os.fork() if pid == 0: try: t = threading.Thread(target=foo) t.start() t.join() finally: os._exit(0) os.waitpid(pid, 0) print("create.py complete") run.py: import create print("run.py complete") Using python2.7 and python3.3 this works as expected, but with python3.2 I get user@mint-vm /tmp $ python3 create.py Trying import Import successful create.py complete user@mint-vm /tmp $ python3 run.py Trying import <Hang> ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "run.py", line 1, in <module> import create File "/tmp/create.py", line 17, in <module> os.waitpid(pid, 0) KeyboardInterrupt ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15914> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
