Unfortunately, this does break some tests; it can be temporarily turned off by setting the environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED to "0" before launching python. -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
