And what if the thread gets killed in the middle of the commit?
For these kinds of reasons, any feature for raising asynchronous exceptions in another thread would need to come with some related facilites: * A way of blocking asynchronous exceptions around a critical section would be needed. * Once an asynchronous exception has been raised, further asynchronous exceptions should be blocked until explicitly re-enabled. * Asynchronous exceptions should probably be disabled initially in a new thread until it explicitly enables them. Some care would still be required to write code that is robust in the presence of asynchronous exceptions, but given these facilities, it ought to be possible. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
