Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: I agree that this is an annoying bug, and I'm glad that it doesn't occur in the 27-maint branch.
I won't close this issue yet though, I'd prefer to add a unittest that demonstrates the problem in 2.7.0 and shows that the problem is fixed afterwords. Basically something like this: pid = os.fork() if pid == 0: # child import platform import urllib urllib.get_proxies() os._exit(0) else: # parent exit = sys.waitpid(pid, 0) self.assertEquals(exit, 0) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
