Hello there,
I couldn't detect this problem until I run my application that utilizes thread
module in python that I just built on HP-UX 11.31 ia64 using aCC.
Could it be the build did not include enable thread option? _REENTRANT as
stated in the README file? If yes, it looks like threading may not work "out of
the box".
>>> thread.start_new_thread(testing, ())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
thread.error: can't start new thread
>>>
Excerpts from README file for python 2.7 build
HP-UX: When using threading, you may have to add -D_REENTRANT to the
OPT variable in the top-level Makefile; reported by Pat Knight,
this seems to make a difference (at least for HP-UX 10.20)
even though pyconfig.h defines it. This seems unnecessary when
using HP/UX 11 and later - threading seems to work "out of the
box".
