Reproduction can be minimized by running the following script: import multiprocessing def main(): p = multiprocessing.Process(target=lambda: None) p.start() p.join() if __name__ == '__main__': main() as $ PYTHONHASHSEED=2147483647 python test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 12, in <module> main() File "test.py", line 7, in main p.start() File "c:\Python27\lib\multiprocessing\process.py", line 130, in start self._popen = Popen(self) File "c:\Python27\lib\multiprocessing\forking.py", line 258, in __init__ cmd = get_command_line() + [rhandle] File "c:\Python27\lib\multiprocessing\forking.py", line 364, in get_command_line opts = util._args_from_interpreter_flags() File "c:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 508, in _args_from_interpreter_flags args.append('-' + opt * v) MemoryError ---------- versions: +Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20954> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
