New submission from gardener.willy <gardener.wi...@yandex.ru>:
Shelve module uses "import dbm" instruction while opening database. Dbm module
has global dictionary "_modules". This dictionary modifies during database
opening operation. When different threads simultaneously try to open different
databases, unexpected behavior occurred. In my case I've got such message:
with shelve.open('some_file') as f:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/shelve.py", line 243, in open
return DbfilenameShelf(filename, flag, protocol, writeback)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/shelve.py", line 227, in init
Shelf.init(self, dbm.open(filename, flag), protocol, writeback)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dbm/__init__.py", line 94, in open
return mod.open(file, flag, mode)
AttributeError: module 'dbm.ndbm' has no attribute 'open'
Behavior is the same on python 3.6 and 3.7. Error is spontaneous.
