Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: > "import child_directory" Then it's certainly an effect of the "import lock": http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#importing-in-threaded-code
In your case, the first call to encode('utf8') indirectly imports utf8.py, while the import lock is held by 'import child_directory'. Then the self.loglock is the second resource that closes the deadlock loop. A workaround is to add some call to encode('utf8') before the thread is created. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> works for me _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10923> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
