Hi,
I don't know if anybody has reported this.
There is a bug in utils/server.py that prevents the forking server
from running.
The bug is in line 209 and can be easily corrected.
It involves ForkingServer.def _handle_sigchld():
@staticmethod
def _handle_sigchld(signum, unused):
try:
while True:
os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG)
except OSError:
pass
# re-register signal handler (see man signal(2), under
Portability)
signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, self._handle_sigchld)
The last line uses self, but in a static method self is not available.
Therefore self must be replaced by the class name (ForkingServer).
So the correct version of ForkingServer.def _handle_sigchld() is:
@staticmethod
def _handle_sigchld(signum, unused):
try:
while True:
os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG)
except OSError:
pass
# re-register signal handler (see man signal(2), under
Portability)
signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, ForkingServer._handle_sigchld)
