Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment: Functions getpwnam() and getpwuid() are not reentrant. This is not a problem if their use is guarded with GIL and extensions don't call them directly. But if release GIL, we should use reentrant getpwnam_r() and getpwuid_r() instead. There may be an open issue for this, but I can't find it now.
If getpwnam_r() and getpwuid_r() are not available (are there such modern platforms?) we should use getpwnam() and getpwuid() without releasing GIL. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
