Richard Fothergill added the comment: I'm getting these results on both: Python 3.2.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:11:55) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 and Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:20:15) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
The symptoms are exactly as Terrence described. Nesting proxied containers is supposed to be a supported use case! From the documentation: http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#proxy-objects >>> a = manager.list() >>> b = manager.list() >>> a.append(b) # referent of a now contains referent of b >>> print a, b [[]] [] >>> b.append('hello') >>> print a, b [['hello']] ['hello'] The documented code works as expected, but: >>> a[0].append('world') # Appends to b? >>> print a, b [['hello']] ['hello'] I've attached my reproduction as a script. ---------- nosy: +Richard.Fothergill versions: +Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34414/nesting.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6766> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
