Nir Soffer <nir...@gmail.com> added the comment: Python cannot protect raw file descriptor from bad multi-threaded application. For example the application may close a file descriptor twice which may lead to closing unrelated file descriptor created by another thread just after it was closed, before the second close.
This issue affects all function using raw file descriptors, and we cannot protect them with the GIL. Even if fstat was not thread safe, we cannot protect it using the GIl since this blocks the entire application until fstat returns. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33021> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
