Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: A new lock type will NOT solve this. It is ALWAYS okay to clear all thread/threading module locks after a fork.
They are and always have been process-local by definition so they are also by definition 100% invalid to any child process. Anyone who has written code using them to "lock" an out-of-process resource has written code that is already broken today. Thread locks can't guard network resources. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
