I could do that indeed. I'm not sure it would be much better, though, because the lock will still be held and posterior tests may freeze mysteriously. > For your #9260 testing, this looks like it may be a little probabilistic It always freezes here (with the per-module lock). I guess on modern machines, 0.5s is more than enough to launch a thread and parse a nearly empty Python module. I should add a comment explaining a purpose of the test, though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9657> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
