Category: Threads Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jaster (steevel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: decimal module borks thread Initial Comment: I got across this while trying to use MySQLdb in a thread. Since MySQLdb imports decimal I got the same error there. Code: (This happens in both 2.4 and 2.5) import thread, time, sys if len(sys.argv) > 1: import threading def test (): import decimal print 'Exiting test.' thread.start_new_thread(test, ()) time.sleep(1) Output: $ ./thread.py 1 Exiting test. $ ./thread.py Exiting test.

Why can't I post a comment? To josiahcarlson: The program I'm currently writing is module based and I don't know what python modules my users will import. It shouldn't matter tho, either this is a "bug" or it needs to go in the documentation that you can't import them in a thread if you havent already imported them before. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-09-22 05:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 I believe it is an issue with the import lock. If you 'import decimal' prior to starting up your subthread, everything will run fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1562822&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
