Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: There is no OS level API to kill threads. Python does not kill threads.
When you exec, your entire process should be replaced by the OS, threads shouldn't matter they should simply disappear just as the rest of your process state does. This is an OS problem. Most macosx users will only ever use the python that apple feeds them so I don't see what point working around this in Python would have given that snow leopard (10.6) appears to fix this. Feel free to contribute patches with appropriate autoconf magic and ifdefs surrounding them if you feel otherwise. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6800> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
