Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: I guess we allow an unhandled SystemExit in a child thread to propagate to (and hence terminate) the main thread, so allowing a Py_Finalize call in a subinterpreter to terminate the main interpreter would be comparable to that.
My main rationale for *requiring* that the main interpreter be active (or be made active) when shutting down is to reduce the number of scenarios we need to test (right now we only test Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize cycles with a single interpreter, and officially allowing finalization from arbitrary interpreters expands that test matrix a fair bit). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
