Duncan Findlay <dun...@duncf.ca> added the comment: This is definitely still an issue.
With the "pthread_sig" patch attached to this bug, both on FreeBSD and on linux, any processes spawned from a thread seem to have their signals blocked, so they can not be killed. Without it, on FreeBSD, the behavior described by bamby is still a problem. I've attached a test case that adapts bamby's example code into a test, and shows the "unkillable subprocess" problem I described above. On FreeBSD without the patch, test_signal fails, and with the patch test_thr fails. On Linux and OS X, without the patch, all tests pass. With the patch, test_thr fails. I hope somebody can come up with a better fix. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20046/thread_test.py _______________________________________ 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
