New submission from Just a Person: Lately, I have been having trouble using the multiprocessing library's shared memory on Windows. Often, updating the .value property seems to fail for no reason. As shown in the attached video, changing ```if __name__ == '__main__':``` in the sample code from the documentation to ```if True:``` causes the program to not work.
This issue does not arise under Linux as far as I can tell (testing the same code). Any explanation/fix would be helpful. ---------- components: Windows files: 2017-01-22-1140-25.mp4 messages: 286015 nosy: Just a Person, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: More lost updates with multiprocessing.Value and .Array type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46380/2017-01-22-1140-25.mp4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29345> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
