Sean Soria <bugs.pyt...@seansoria.com> added the comment: Okay, what if I attack this problem from a "it's not thread-safe" point of view? If the callbacks are already loaded, then who knows what state the locks are in. If you replace the locking_callback while a thread already has the lock, and another thread comes in and tries to lock, it will succeed immediately, and two threads will be in the critical section.
Attaching a patch for how I think this should work. >From Bill via email: Hmmm, well, is there a standard way to unload Python? I could put a __del__ method on the module which would remove the callbacks, I suppose. I just never heard of "unloading" a module before. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15829/ssl.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
