New submission from HCT: created a project with the following content CODEC/ CODEC/video.py CODEC/audio.py CODEC/__init__.py CRC/ CRC/crc24.py CRC/crc32.py CRC/__init__.py TEST/test_crc.py TEST/test_codec.py TEST/__init__.py __init__.py test.py main.py
test.py contain tests that launches multiple multiprocessing.Process to test diffferent module in parallel, but always fail to launch child processes for test with AttributeError. I spent lots of time trying to figure out why my code don't work. I also tried to use the examples from http://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing.html#the-process-class and they also gives AttributeError when launching child process. in the end, I figured out it's because Pythong file test.py has same name as package TEST. change test.py to test_all.py and everything worked. It looks multiprocessing import defaults to import package, not the parent file when file name without suffix is same as package. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 188197 nosy: hct priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: multiprocessing.Process child process imports package instead of parent file type: compile error versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17885> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
