Every once in a while since I moved to Python 2.4 I've been seeing the following exception in threading.py Condition:
File "mctest3.py", line 1598, in WaitForMessages self.condResponses.wait(1.0) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 221, in wait delay = min(delay * 2, remaining, .05) OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int Is there something I'm doing wrong here ? I've looked at my code, and glanced at threading.py, and I can't see any obvious errors (multiplying a float by 2, using the result of the time.time() call none of which use longs as far as I know). I added some print statements to threading.py and the exception is thrown on the first iteration when delay is 0.0005 and remaining is 1.0 However the code does keep running... ---------<code>-------------- Delay: 0.0005 Remaining: 1.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "mctest3.py", line 2665, in getLogonResponse respLogon.WaitForMessages() File "mctest3.py", line 1598, in WaitForMessages self.condResponses.wait(1.0) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 222, in wait delay = min(delay * 2, remaining, .05) OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int Delay: 0.016 Remaining: 8.07899999619 Delay: 0.032 Remaining: 8.01600003242 Delay: 0.05 Remaining: 7.95399999619 Done Message response handler got message <LogonStatus4 object at 0x0167B540> ----------</code>------------- Is this something to do with min ? Converting 1.0 ? Thanks for any help.
