Well this was just an example for illustrating the issue. In real code I need this to create `ThreadPoolMixin` and `ProcessPoolMixin` classes (similar to the `socketserver.ThreadingMixIn` and `socketserver.ForkingMixIn` classes in the standard library, but using a thread/process pool with a fixed size instead of creating a new thread/process per request) for mixing with my server classes. But because of this `ProcessPoolExecutor` issue, I cannot use my `ProcessPoolMixin` class but only my `ThreadPoolMixin` currently. The fact is one cannot submit a parent method call to a `ProcessPoolExecutor`. This code snippet prints the exception raised by the call: from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor class A: def f(self): print("called") class B(A): def f(self): executor = ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=2) print(executor.submit(super().f).exception()) if __name__ == "__main__": B().f() It prints this: > [Errno 24] Too many open files > None > None > None > … ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37294> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
