George Slavin added the comment: Thanks for the reply! I've managed to reproduce the issue without using ctypes, so we can exclude ctypes as the cause of the problem :)
The bug only occurs for me after hundreds of iterations of the script, so it is very intermittent. >From my results, it appears the signal handler is called, but the exception >isn't caught in the try block (this matches your result). >From the call stack it appears the exception handler is called at "print 'unexcepted'", which is after the try block. Interestingly, if I place a print after time.sleep, I cannot repro this issue. Maybe there is a race between the signal handler execution and execution of the try block in the main thread? Adding the print might slow down the main thread enough that the race disappears. I don't know the source that well, so I'll need to do some digging to get any more information. I hope this helps! -George Slavin ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27889> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
