New submission from Claudiu.Popa: Due to some bad math on my side, I passed max_workers=0 to concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor. This didn't fail properly, but hanged. The same behaviour occurs in ProcessPoolExecutor, but this time it fails internally with something like this:
Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python34\lib\threading.py", line 921, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "C:\Python34\lib\threading.py", line 869, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "C:\Python34\lib\concurrent\futures\process.py", line 225, in _queue_management_worker assert sentinels AssertionError The attached patch checks that *max_workers* is <= 0 and raises ValueError if so. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: futures_max_workers.patch keywords: patch messages: 217258 nosy: Claudiu.Popa, bquinlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: concurrent.futures does not validate that max_workers is proper type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35053/futures_max_workers.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21362> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
