New submission from Peter Saunders <p...@fodder.org.uk>: I have an example code that works fine on Python 2.6.3, but when run in Python 3.1.1 - after a very short period of time, will go wrong.
Summary: We have a queue, and when the queue has something in it (a list), we start a thread to deal with that entry. The thread then runs a Process for every entry in the list we popped off the queue. The Process target takes a Pipe, and it sends "True" back down the pipe, and then exits. However, this Process never goes defunct, and thus the Thread that started the Process never reaps it. When doing a truss on the Process, it sits there in: lwp_park(0x00000000, 0) (sleeping...) ---------- files: testing.py messages: 93978 nosy: p...@fodder.org.uk severity: normal status: open title: Multiprocess Process does not always exit when run from a thread. versions: Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15124/testing.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
