New submission from Mick Phillips: If a process was waiting on an Event but dies for some reason, nothing else can set the Event. I think the Event._cond lock can not be acquired. See attached for a demonstration.
I see the same behaviour in Python 2.7.5 and Python 3.5.2. Is this expected behaviour? ---------- components: Windows files: WaitersSleepers.py messages: 298713 nosy: Mick Phillips, davin, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Multiprocessing: Event.set() blocks indefinitely if a process waiting on it has died. type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file47025/WaitersSleepers.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30975> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
