Jesse Noller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
To add to ben's comment, under py3k the third test hangs, if you pull
out the basic script code being executed in subprocess:
if 1:
import sys, os, time, threading
# a thread, which waits for the main program to terminate
def joiningfunc(mainthread):
mainthread.join()
print('end of thread')
if 1:
main_thread = threading.current_thread()
def worker():
childpid = os.fork()
if childpid != 0:
os.waitpid(childpid, 0)
sys.exit(0)
t = threading.Thread(target=joiningfunc,
args=(main_thread,))
print('starting worker')
t.start()
print('joining worker')
t.join() # Should not block: main_thread is already stopped
w = threading.Thread(target=worker)
w.start()
You'll note it hangs promptly at the join()
