Good idea, the first strace shows that SIGALRM was received while Python was creating the large data. I made this simple change. Can you tell me if my change fixes the issue? > Or what if alarm_interrupt is simply set up to retrigger the signal? It may make the test more reliable and I don't see how it can fix the issue showed in the strace. Feel free to make the test more reliable with such change if you want. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23680> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
