We ran into this at work, with Python 3.6, where it involved extension types
with a reference to files, with the (open) files being deallocated during
interpreter exit and raising ResourceWarnings because of that. I tried to
create a simple reproducer and failed, but I *did* manage to reproduce it in
2.7:
% cat warningscrash.py
import threading
import warnings
class WarnOnDel(object):
def __del__(self):
warnings.warn("oh no something went wrong", UserWarning)
def do_work():
while True:
w = WarnOnDel()
for i in range(10):
t = threading.Thread(target=do_work)
t.setDaemon(1)
t.start()
% python2 warningscrash.py
warningscrash.py:7: UserWarning: oh no something went wrong
warnings.warn("oh no something went wrong", UserWarning)
Fatal Python error: PyImport_GetModuleDict: no module dictionary!
Aborted (core dumped)
It's clearly dependent on timing, as even when starting 10 threads it doesn't
always happen. Starting more threads makes it happen more often (but might
cause your machine to trash a little). This doesn't reproduce it with Python
3.6, but I do believe it's possible there, too, but perhaps it requires threads
that release the GIL for a longer period of time, or do deallocations with less
overhead.
Python 2.7's warnings module doesn't try to do anything sensible during
interpreter shutdown, as far as I can tell. Python 3.6's warnings module does,
a little, but it's still possible to get this crash. The problem is that
interp->modules (sys.modules) is deleted right before the _warnings module
tries to access it (with PyImport_GetModuleDict in
Python/_warnings.c:get_warnings_attr). I think a fix for 3.6 shouldn't be too
hard, since we can check _Py_Finalizing.
