I agree that we should not change the default behavior of Thread.join(), as that would break existing code, but there are plenty of other ways to do this. I see a couple of possibilities: 1. Add an option to the Thread constructor, something like raise_exc, that defaults to False, but when set to True, causes join() to raise any exceptions. 2. (Better, IMO) Add this option to the join() method instead. 3. Create a new method, join_with_exc(), that acts like join() but raises exceptions from the target. 4. (Should probably do this anyway, regardless of what else we do) Add a new method, check_exc(), that checks if any unhandled exceptions have occurred in the thread and returns and/or raises any that have. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36666> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
