Terry J. Reedy added the comment: r50094 was for 2.7 (see msg216242, part of #21204 that is a partly a duplicate of this). Running in 2.7.8, the message has changed to "PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'thread.lock'>: it's not found as thread.lock"
The example has been removed in 3.x. I think the right 'fix' for 2.7 is to remove the reference to Windows in both comment and code and instead say 'Does not run on Windows'. ---------- assignee: jnoller -> components: +Documentation -Library (Lib), Windows keywords: +easy nosy: +terry.reedy title: multiprocessing - example "pool of http servers " fails on windows "socket has no attribute fromfd" -> multiprocessing example "pool of http servers " fails on windows versions: -Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5879> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
