Ronald Oussoren added the comment: #25924 is related to this, I filed this after reading the blog post. The lock might not be necessary on OSX, and possibly on the other systems as well.
Yury: resetting the lock in the child should be safe because after the fork the child only has a single thread that is returning from fork(2). The thread that acquired the lock does not exist in the child process. ---------- nosy: +ronaldoussoren _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
