Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: Catching regressions is what we have the regression tests for. If it is not in caught by the regression tests, then it is not a regression, by definition. Bug fix mode is for fixing bugs, IMHO. Yes, I have patched my local version. The reason I am here having this discussion is that I want to contribute to help others that are using 2.7 for multiprocessing. Others will have the same problem, and probably have, already.
Anyway, I cannot easily reproduce the problem, it happens regularly in a live production environment. My patch is a conjecture based patch. But I actually had a different thought about how to handle this. The particular manifestation of this error occurs because an exception state is being cleared from the system dict. The dict contains a frame and there is where the connection object is being held. The problem can be avoided, by clearing the exception right at the start of the PyInterpreterState_Clear(), thus flushing out most side effects right at the start. I'll prepare a patch for you to review. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17969> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
