New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>:
In bpo-37266 we strictly disallowed creation of daemon threads in subinterpreters. However, this is backward-incompatible for existing users of the subinterpreter C-API (such as mod-wsgi). Rather than reverting that change I suggest that we make it opt-in through the interpreter config. That would preserve backward-compatibility. It would also make it so we can disallow daemon threads in subinterpreters created through PEP 554. We could also deprecate use of daemon threads in *all* subinterpreters, with the goal of dropping support after a while. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 366029 nosy: eric.snow, grahamd, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Disallow daemon threads in subinterpreters optionally. type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40234> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
