I am just playing around with threading and subprocess and found that the following program will hang up and never terminate every now and again.
import threading import subprocess import time def targ(): p = subprocess.Popen(["/bin/sleep", "2"]) while p.poll() is None: time.sleep(1) t1 = threading.Thread(target=targ) t2 = threading.Thread(target=targ) t1.start() t2.start() t1.join() t2.join() I found this bug, and while it sounds similar it seems that it was closed during python 2.5 (I'm using 2.7.2): http://bugs.python.org/issue1404925 Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
