STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: I'm able to reproduce the bug. The problem is that "-j 4" option creates 4 working processes, and they are all writing to stdout at the same time.
Main process: main() => refactor() => refactor_file() sends tasks to child processes Children: _child() => queue.get ~> refactor_file() => processed_file() => print_output() writes the diff to stdout using print() A solution would be to use a lock to ensure that only one process is writing to stdout at the same time... But we may loose all advantages of using different Python processes, it's a new kind of GIL :) A better solution would be to send output (the whole diff for one file) to the main process which will be the only process writing the stdout. I don't know multiprocessing enough to propose a patch. Note: flush() in each child process doesn't ensure that no process is writing to stdout at the same time. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6409> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
