New submission from Sangeeth Saravanaraj:
Python version 2.7.7
Mac OS Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0
I have the following code which when executed waits to be interrupted by
SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGQUIT. When an object is initialized, it creates a
threading.Condition() and acquires() it! The program then registers the signal
handlers where notify() and release() is called when the above mentioned
signals are received. After registering the signal handlers, it calls wait() on
the condition variable and block.
When I tried to stop the program with Ctrl-C, its did not respond. IOW, the
_signal_handler() method did not get called.
# start
from signal import signal, SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT
from threading import Condition
class A:
def __init__(self):
self._termination_signal = Condition()
self._termination_signal.acquire(blocking=0)
def _signal_handler(self, signum, frame):
print "Received terminate request - signal = {0}".format(signum)
del frame
self._termination_signal.notify()
self._termination_signal.release()
return
def register_and_wait(self):
signal(SIGINT, self._signal_handler)
signal(SIGTERM, self._signal_handler)
signal(SIGQUIT, self._signal_handler)
print "Waiting to be interrupted!"
self._termination_signal.wait() # control blocks here!
print "Notified!!"
def main():
a = A()
a.register_and_wait()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
# end
When the same code was tried in Python 3.4, it threw a "RuntimeError: cannot
notify on un-acquired lock".
