nh2 <n...@deditus.de> added the comment: I think this is still an issue.
If I register signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, handler) in the main thread, I get a race between - only the main thread receives the signal (everything is fine) - both the main thread and currently running threads receive the signal => the handler is called multiple times => all kinds of resource-problems like "close failed in file object destructor: IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor" in thread cleanup functions Note that I cannot even declare a sigintlock = threading.Lock() and use with sigintlock in the handler - if I print threading.current_thread() and sys.exit() directly afterwards in the locked area, I sometimes get two print outputs which show MainThread and Thread-1 being inside the locked area at the same time! Is the synchronization broken or am I doing something wrong? Is synchronization over handlers really the way to cope with this? Disabling signals for non-main threads currently seems more sensible to me. Can someone please verify the race I get? ---------- nosy: +nh2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1975> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
