Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment: no need for that. the problem is that they're held by a thread that does not exist in the newly forked child process so they will never be released in the new process.
example: if you fork while another thread is in the middle of logging something and then try to log something yourself in the child, your child process will deadlock on the logging module's lock. locks are not shared between processes so reinitializing them with a new object wouldn't do anything. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
