I started to worry a bit about daemon threads. I think they can still run while atexit functions are being run.* So if a daemon thread creates an atexit finalizer during shutdown it may never be run. I am not sure how much to worry about this potential race. Maybe a lock could be used to cause any daemon threads which try to create finalizers to block. * Is it necessary/desirable to allow daemon threads to run during shutdown. Maybe blocking thread switching at shutdown could cause deadlocks? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
