STINNER Victor added the comment: I suggest to close the issue as WONT FIX. Python code base is huge and Python depends on a lot of external code. We cannot warranty anything.
It might be possible to track all kinds of locks with an infinite time. But I'm not sure that it's worth it. It is possible to use fork() with threads. The problem is more to execute non trivial code after the fork. In short, the POSIX advices to only call exec() syscall after fork and nothing else. The list of functions which are safe after fork() is very short. You can still use the multiprocessing module using the fork server for example. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
