Christian Heimes added the comment: Amaury: PyPy doesn't handle exceptions in hooks. Is there a reason why PyPy goes for the simplistic approach?
Richard: An error callback has the benefit that the API can notice the hooks that some error has occurred. We may not need it, though. I can think of six exception scenarios that must be handled: (1) exception in a prepare hook -> don't call the remaining prepare hooks, run all related parent hooks in FILO order, prevent fork() call (2) exception in parent hook during the handling of (1) -> print exception, continue with next parent hook (3) exception in fork() call -> run parent hooks in FILO order (4) exception in parent hook during the handling of (3) -> print exception, continue with next parent hook (5) exception in parent hook when fork() has succeeded -> print exception, continue with next parent hook (6) exception in child hook when fork() has succeeded -> print exception, continue with next child hook Do you agree? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16500> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
