The most likely cause is that when _cleanup() calls waitpid(pid, WNOHANG), the child process hasn't exited yet. Since I had already set a rather high timeout to avoid this problem and we're only interested in checking that the child is correctly added to the _active list, I've removed the part of test_zombie_fast_process_del which checked that the child got collected when the next Popen instance is allocated (I added this check in test_leak_fast_process_del_killed, which doesn't have this timeout problem because the process gets killed). I'll watch the buildbots. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12650> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
