Hey all, I ran the example code on multiprocessing. On the "Pool example", an assertion failed with "testing garbage collection".
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 314, in <module> test() File "test.py", line 295, in test assert not worker.is_alive() AssertionError The relevant example code reads: pool = multiprocessing.Pool(2) DELTA = 0.1 processes = pool._pool ignore = pool.apply(pow3, [2]) results = [pool.apply_async(time.sleep, [DELTA]) for i in range(100)] results = pool = None time.sleep(DELTA * 2) for worker in processes: assert not worker.is_alive() My questions are 1) How does that GC test work, and 2) Does that mean my GC isn't working as fast as it should have been?
