Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[email protected]> added the comment: libc.daemon() calls forks(), which duplicates only the main thread. The other thread does not exists in the forked process, and the interpreter blocks while trying to wait for it...
Please use os.fork() instead, it has code to forget the threads created by the threading module (and clears some other locks as well, preventing deadlocks). Or google for "daemonize python". ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7931> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
