In Lib/test/_test_multiprocessing.py: """ def test_poll_eintr(self): got_signal = [False] def record(*args): got_signal[0] = True pid = os.getpid() oldhandler = signal.signal(signal.SIGUSR1, record) try: killer = self.Process(target=self._killer, args=(pid,)) killer.start() p = self.Process(target=time.sleep, args=(1,)) p.start() p.join() self.assertTrue(got_signal[0]) self.assertEqual(p.exitcode, 0) killer.join() finally: signal.signal(signal.SIGUSR1, oldhandler) """ If the _killer process takes too long to start, it won't send SIGUSR1 before the p process returns (0.5s vs 1s): which means that the default SIGUSR1 handler will be restored before SIGUSR1 is sent. Then SIGUSR1 comes in, resulting on the failure above. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18786> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
