1. [New issue] KeyError exception accessing threading.currentThread()
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32125
User jamesholland has proposed the issue:
"I'm using the Task Parallel Library from IronPython along with the python
logging module. Sometimes an exception is thrown by the logging module when
calling one of the logging methods. The exception occurs when the __init__
method of LogRecord calls threading.currentThread().name.
The exception is a KeyError:
File "C:\Program Files\IronPython\Lib\threading.py", line 828, in
currentThread
return _active[_get_ident()]
KeyError: 4
Taking a look at threading.py in the Python library that line of code is
wrapped by try..except KeyError, and it should create a _DummyThread object in
this circumstance. How can a KeyError be thrown and not caught by a handler
designed to catch it?!?
I was able to reproduce this without the logging module, simply by firing up
multiple tasks and having them call threading.currentThread().name. See
attached file. You have to run it a number of times to see the error because it
doesn't happen every time.
The end result is that the logging module appears not to be threadsafe when
called from the TPL. If we channel all calls to the logging module through a
Monitor the problem goes away. Is this behavior explainable? Is is supposed to
be this way?"
