I disagree that Python 3.4 is affected: RLock has been reimplemented in C in Python 3.2. Only the Python implementation of RLock has the bug, but it's not used by fault, you have to explicitly use a private attribute of the threading module to get it. Python 2.6 only accept security fixes, so in fact only Python 2.7 may get a fix. The question is if it worth to backport 300 lines of C code from Python 3 to Python 2 in the _thread module. @Benjamin, release manager of Pythn 2.7: What do you think? I may help to backport the C implementation of RLock. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13697> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
