Please spell this out for me. Why can't the "fork" and "forkserver" variations call sys.exit(), and thus Py_Finalize? I don't see why it's OK to call the _shutdown function in Lib/threading.py from a spawned child but not a forked child. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18966> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
