Comment #8 on issue 103 by [email protected]: Python thread are not running in background
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=103
On which platform are you testing? I would guess Windows since pythoninterp=dynamic seems to only be available on this platform.
Nope. It is available anywhere, but pythoninterp=dynamic is the only choice if you want to have both python and python3 support in one binary. It is Gentoo on amd64. And Ubuntu ARM (efika MX smartbook modification of Ubuntu, stripped of almost any package that was there in a fresh installation).
Reverting commit 7f10daa706bb solves the issue (the test-case is correclty incrementing the variable in background). It also prevents vim to compile when PY_CAN_RECURSE is not set.
Now when you mentioned it I remember I saw some (threading?) problems with this commit on vim-dev. Did not came to my mind as I forgot about threads as they are not working on ARM and are not forcefully terminatable. This is also why I suggest processes to anyone wanting to use threads.
Though reverting commit is not an option: it itself is solving some issues. Better to check why I have the code running correctly and you do not.
