Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a multithreaded GUI system in Python 2.6. In this
system I use conditions to coordinate synchronization. However, one condition
suddenly locks, without any cause. As a last resort I have written a small
routine to dump all the stack traces.
def dumpAllStacks(self):
for threadId, stack in sys._current_frames().items():
print "Thread with Id: %s" % threadId
traceback.print_stack(stack)
When the system is dead-locked, I invoke this method. One stack-trace strikes
me as odd:
Thread with Id: 1568
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 497, in __bootstrap
self.__bootstrap_inner()
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 477, in run
self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\site-packages\magnum\gui\autogui.py", line 2558, in
__sendDataLoop
self.__sendDataCondition.wait(1)
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 256, in wait
_sleep(delay)
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 497, in __bootstrap
self.__bootstrap_inner() <<===== What?
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()

run
self.updateTask()

self.updateVariableData(varDataDict, frozenset(varDataDict))
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\site-packages\magnum\subsys\shared\modules.py", line
796, in updateVariableData
self.cmdMgr.updateVariableData(self.moduleId, varDataDict, forceVarIdSet) #
after this varMgr makes deepcopy
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\site-packages\magnum\subsys\shared\managers.py", line
441, in updateVariableData
self.notifyUpdateReport(updatedData)
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\site-packages\magnum\subsys\shared\managers.py", line
493, in notifyUpdateReport
with self.updateReportCondition:
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 205, in __enter__
return self.__lock.__enter__()
File "c:\PYTHON26\lib\threading.py", line 121, in acquire
rc = self.__block.acquire(blocking)
Can someone tell me how the sleep of one thread can continue as the 'run' of
another? Is this normal? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Vincent van Beveren
