New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: When a test starts many threads in a loop, there is a chance that the starting thread will fail due to lack of memory. In this case all started threads left dangling and make MemotyError even more probably. They also can provoke dim error messages in this and in following tests. Proposed patch adds new helper function test.support.start_threads() that starts threads and then join started threads.
Some tests even hang without this patch. ---------- components: Tests files: test_support_start_threads.patch keywords: patch messages: 239465 nosy: serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Join started threads in tests type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38720/test_support_start_threads.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23799> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
