New submission from Santiago Hernandez <santi...@jampp.com>:
Hi,
I am splitting some processing among different processes with the forkserver
start method using multiprocessing.
In python 3.4 to 3.6 this worked fine.
In python 3.7.0 it's breaking with the following Traceback:
```
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line
112, in start
self._popen = self._Popen(self)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/context.py", line
223, in _Popen
return _default_context.get_context().Process._Popen(process_obj)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/context.py", line
284, in _Popen
return Popen(process_obj)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/popen_spawn_posix.py",
line 32, in __init__
super().__init__(process_obj)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/popen_fork.py",
line 20, in __init__
self._launch(process_obj)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/popen_spawn_posix.py",
line 47, in _launch
reduction.dump(process_obj, fp)
File
"/data/venvs/py37/Python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/reduction.py",
line 60, in dump
ForkingPickler(file, protocol).dump(obj)
TypeError: can't pickle weakref objects
```
I am attaching a minimum example where this happens.
In the example this can be solved by making self._run_single a staticmethod.
However, I would like to understand what is going on and what changed in python
for this to throw an exception now, when before it did not.
Thanks.
Santiago
