Hi all
This is a minor issue, but I thought I would mention it.
I am on Python 2.6.2. I have 'from __future__ import unicode_literals' at
the top of my programs.
I am experimenting with multiprocessing, and in particular subclassing the
Process class.
If I create a subclass and pass "name='test'" as one of the arguments, I get
the following -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\junk\multiprocess\mp5.py", line 37, in <module>
p = Frank(name='test')
File "F:\junk\multiprocess\mp5.py", line 18, in __init__
self.name = name
File "C:\Python26\lib\multiprocessing\process.py", line 141, in name
assert isinstance(name, str), 'name must be a string'
AssertionError: name must be a string
If I change the argument to "name=str('test')" there is no error.
For Python 2.x I think the assertion should be "isinstance(name,
basestring)" to prevent this from happening.
Is this worth reporting, if it has not been reported already?
Thanks
Frank Millman
