@pitrou I am interested in a fix for Python 2.7 because in Python 3.x the manner in which arithmetic is output is not arbitrary precise. So I will continue using Python 2.7 until another language I am familiar with that has superior arbitrary precise arithmetic compared to python 3.x reaches a point where the lib ecosystem is as mature as python 2.7 I heavily use multiprocessing and have many use cases where i work around this issue, because i encounter it almost every time i find i need multiprocessing, basically i decide i need multiprocessing when i have too many external resources being processed by 1 CPU, meaning that multiprocessing will be managing thousands of external resources on immediate use! I work around this issue with this solution instead of the Queue with always failed! ======================================================================================== #!/usr/bin/env python import multiprocessing, time ARBITRARY_DELAY = 10 processes = [] for data in parse_file(zonefile_path, regex): t = multiprocessing.Process(target=write_to_json, args=(data, )) processes.append(t) i = 0 for one_process in processes: i += 1 if i % 1000 == 0: time.sleep(ARBITRARY_DELAY) one_process.start() for one_process in processes: one_process.join() ======================================================================================== At the time (years ago) i don't think i knew enough about fd to be good enough to solve the root cause (or be elegant) and i've reused this code every time Queue failed me (every time i use Queue basically) To be frank, i ask anyone and they say Queue is flawed. Now, I am older, and I had some free time, I decided to fix my zonefile parsing scripts and use more elegant solutions, i finally looked at the old code i reused in many projects and identified it was actually a fd issue (yay for knowledge) and was VERY disappointed to see here that you didn't care to solve the problem for python 2.7.. very unprofessional.. Now i am disappointed to by unpythonic and add to my script gc... you're unprofessionalism now makes me be unprofessional ---------- nosy: +Chris Langton _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33081> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
