I like Olivier's pattern. Maybe we can slowly increase the sleep to stop shortly if the resource goes away shortly. deadline = time.monotonic() + 60.0 sleep = 0.010 while ...: if ....: break if time.monotonic() > deadline: ... assert error ... sleep = min(sleep * 2, 5.0) time.sleep(1.0) It's kind of a common pattern. Maybe it should be an helper in test.support module. > We can do that, or maybe we can try to wait on the `resource_tracker's` pid? I prefer to make sure that the resource goes away without inspecting multiprocessing internals. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36867> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
